Abstract

The COVID-19 is a public health emergency of international concern, which has had a serious impact on the health and life safety of all mankind. How to insure the medical costs of patients with COVID-19 has become an urgent issue. Under China’s current practice, the medical insurance fund and public financial subsidies jointly share responsibility for the medical costs of ordinary people infected with COVID-19. The work injury insurance fund and the employers pay the medical costs of front-line medical personnel and urban and rural community workers. These practices are a timely response to people’s COVID-19 medical needs. But these fragmented, temporary, and policy-based measures have exposed the problems of unclear responsibilities between public finance and social insurance, and the institutional gaps in the country’s response to public health emergencies. In order to improve the funding guarantee mechanism of citizens’ right to health in public health emergencies, we must clarify the relationship between medical insurance and public health, identify work injuries, divide the responsibility of central and local governments rationally, and establish a social compensation system.
