在回答网友提出的医疗改革问题时,温家宝说,目前,城市职工、城市居民和农村医疗保险参保人数超过12亿人。今年政府将继续加大投入,使城乡参保标准都达到200元。决不让有人因为贫穷而疾病得不到治疗。这是我们努力的方向。(选自“新华网”,2011年2月27日)
In response to the issue of health care reform, Wen said, “Up till now, more than 1.2 billion people, including urban workers and staff as well as urban and rural residents, have been covered for medical care. And this year, the government will continue to increase insurance subsidies so that the premium would reach 200 yuan($30.4)per person for both urban and rural areas. We’ll never turn a patient away because he/she is poor. That is the direction of our efforts.”(translated by Zhang Xingquan, improved by Meng Qingsheng)
