U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence, who heads up the coronavirus task force, sought to assure Americans on Wednesday that the risk of contracting COVID-19 remains low for Americans, while saying treatment would be covered by private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare.
Officials, meanwhile, said the communities most at risk are the elderly and those with underlying conditions.

Coronavirus outbreak: COVID-19 treatment covered by private insurance, Medicaid & Medicare
And since I don’t have any coverage I would not be tested if I get this virus…..geez thanks
He said it’s provided by medicaid and medicare, so If i not wrong you do. But if you do go in please cover your mouth lol
Just walk down to your nearest senators office and start coughing all over them! Treat them like they treat you
@TheDickeringTitillator he’s not covered you don’t get it only poor and old qualify for Medicaid and Medicare and you still have to pay some out of pocket expense
If you do get infected I recommend you to spread the infection and let your greedy government know that health care should be FREE or CHEAP
2 week incubation period means by the time you know you have some symptoms you infected a dozen people and so on
@Russian Bot, UK Division looks like you caught the virus
@hytr aaddxw3rs Bizarre response.
@hytr aaddxw3rs This guy is like the Oprah of infectious diseases, “You get the virus, and you, and you too!!”
R naught is 2.3
Do you really only come into contact with 12 people in a week lol. Where do you work?
Nih please recommend that spring break should be shut down in florida.
The virus has mutated, is difficult to detect, and is likely to become a seasonal disease (the virus will attack the nerve center of the patient. If you feel a headache or neuropathic pain, please seek medical treatment in time)
@trend qiang the dr. At nih says virus is stable.
@Wednesday’s Child look I dont know you are joking or not， I’m just telling you the latest research from China which your Drs also known , just for stabilize stock prices, they selective reporting
@trend qiang not joking. He did say seasonal return is likely.
@Wednesday’s Child Ok the Chinese also said they found the virus in patients Spinal fluid
And everyone is susceptible to infection regardless of age. Possible routes of transmission, contact, droplets, feces, live viruses are also found in urine. Airborne transmission may not be the main route of transmission, but it cannot be ignored.
Should be free. Tax payers pay for the government to prevent outbreaks, to protect us . They didn’t now they don’t want to treat us for free. Seriously we have no reason to believe our government would protect us from this virus. It will depopulate, rid of elderly, disabled, people on SSI, poor,on section 8, smokers, people with TB, HIV, COPD, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and even homeless. Basically weed out the weak and those costing govt. money. After watching this admin allow children to be ripped from their homes, caged and held waiting on their parents to be processed for deportation. They already have shown their lack of empathy, humanity, and compassion. Now news is saying it may be new normal, get used to it. They might be deliberately planning to let this run rampant. They want us to treat it less lethal than flu, which by the way we have all gotten too accustomed to the number of infected and dead, and that in it self is a dangerous risk.. China gave them 2 months instead of cancelling all flights they just cancel flights from 1 country. 30 other countries have it. I am disappointed.
Culling the herd
I would hope that you are disappointed but not suprised
True. At this time, I wish I was back home, it’s free…
With all the taxes we pay you would think the U.S has emergency money for such events.
All that goes into war because we’re screwed.
Stop paying.
750 some odd billion per year keeping your racketeering…I mean army fed housed and supplied with drones and bombs.
you think those bombs and missiles would pay for themselves??
@LDN yes they give billions away yearly as “foreign aid” more like paying ur dues to the royals
first things first lets not tell the general population how screwed USA is going to be ITS ALL GOOD NO WORRIES lol
hytr aaddxw3rs we could have a cure by a year or may
“So if someone does not have any coverage….they are screwed
@Enrico Supit sued for what? Do you know how collections even works?
Danny O That is not true. Emergency room covers triage, meaning they will stabilize you and send you on your way.
@Bacons Strip well you’ll have to be falling over dead when you show up to the hospital. But they’ll give it to you then. Emergency Services is just that if it’s not an emergency and you’re not an imminent threat they are not going to provide the service. Anybody who keeps relying on their government to save them is being ignorant. Did you really think they were just going to go Dole out a bunch of expensive tests for free that they can make profit on? That’s not the country or the reality that we live in we live in a world that harassed little girls for selling bottled water with no permit. Our relationship with our government is not a I scratch your back you scratch my back relationship. They will always put money and control above the citizens. Anybody who believes otherwise has been lulled to sleep Living in a Dream state pumped up with patriotic bulshit. They create Patriots to go fight in Wars and they don’t even know what they’re fighting for. But if they can make you feel proud enough of your country you’ll be willing to die for some rich man all in the name of your flag.. George Carlin was right when he said they call at the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. This thing is going to ravage the United States and they’re more concerned about pushing left-right paradigm and whose fault it is
You look so good, i think you are “screwed” any way you look at it;-)
how much do they spend on war machine?
US GOVT: We wil keep spending on war. you guys are on your own.
$600 billion a year. That’s 54% of US government ‘discretionary’ spending.
Golf Excursions????
China paid for EVERYTHING for millions from testing, ambulance, hospitals, ICU, medication, mask, quarantine in converted hotels and everything in between for a nation who’s “people earn $1 a day” . You gotta wonder.
@Paradigm buddy，eating bats was unheard of in China（at least in mainland）and The origin of the virus and the mutation process are unclear，just like the Spanish flu does not originate in Spain，Don’t make a conclusion because of prejudice
@trend qiang I was being sarcastic. Don’t worry about it.
@Paradigm It probably was bats, but not bat soup. Bats are communal and crowd together. They are very prone to infectious disease, but they have evolved super immune systems. As the population of the world increases and bat habitats are invaded by humans, species jumpers are more likely. Unfortunately, humans don’t have a super immune system. Fortunately this virus, although strong, is not extremely lethal. The next one might be worse. We should view this outbreak as a n opportunity to prepare for the inevitable pandemics to come.
@akev *PROBABLY* , should be, could be, must be, possibly.
Thanks for your nonsensical input.
@박사장 shame on Korea, eating more dogs than China.
China has banned wild meat trading. Why dont you focus on Vietnam and Thailand on exotic animals? Amazingly they eat more exotic meats than China but gets no virus outbreaks. Why is that?
How do you know China is corrupt today? Any proof Xi Jinping is not cleaning house with all those Chineze traitors embezzling money working for outside powers?
Again I wonder how many hard working Americans who can’t afford insurance but can’t receive Medicade ( because they earn too much to qualify) won’t be able to afford to miss work to go to the emergency room visit to be tested? Many of these people work in the hospitality industry where contact with the general public is the norm?
Why should private insurances amd individuals have to pay for testing? They are not at fault
Government has dropped the ball
America is Every man for himself and it’s the Empire’s final days. It’s ripe for pandemonium and flying bullets right about now.
The Purge. comes true. This will help to eliminate the useless person for the US. Poor/old/sick person, they may die high potentially.
How reassuring is it that the government is telling us that a God-damned worldwide epidemic is covered by insurance? That totally eases my mind. Repulsive.
jaxsun72 absolutely agree !
Well Kimmy bragged about he and Xi’s comrades were delivering a Christmas present!
I know! They can now tell the “assault virus” victim how eager they are to pay for each person’s losses to family and finances because they drank too much and ordered up some bugs!
No coverage for people with no private insurance who have no access to Medicare or Medicaid.
Covered once you pay your $3000 deductible? What a joke our country has become, pathetic
your government has the money for wars but no money for citizen healthcare? =(
What about the uninsured
Pence: why did trump put me in charge of this ? just shoot me already!
Well, this is what you kinda get when you choose to make healthcare another business model instead of a part of your societal infrastructure. At least you do not need private insurance to get firefighters to your home when it is on fire? But I guess that is just a matter of time? ^_^
We paid taxes… for this?
Last week I went and bought surgical masks for 5 bucks a piece.
FIVE-FREAKING-BUCKS. *PER PIECES.*
We are not ready for this. Government doesn’t even care about us.
Here in China and we receive Covid-19 treatment for free, meanwhile USA the supposedly land of ‘freedom and democracy’ charge $3000 for treatments??
Rico everywhere in the world covid 19 treatment is free, I live in Vietnam, they support people in isolation food and supplies for free! In Korea, they paying people money to get tested, free treatment also. What is wrong with America!?
I know where I’m going, do they know where they’re going when they die?
