Success of Big Infectious Disease Reimbursement Policy in China

Nie, Kun-xi; Wang, Chan; Li, Xin-wu

The government compensates people to control the disease, but compensation for the government supply will only be enough for people to treat infectious diseases. After all, more compensates means higher expenditures for the government. Therefore, government compensations must be no more than the treatment expenditures, or µ α ≤ . To be consistent with the real policy of Chinese government, this article assumes that if µ α − =0 , then γ=1 . Under this condition, the evolution number of the 3 groups is shown in Figure 3 . Figure 3 shows that the number of infected people drops rapidly and will reach zero in the eighth period. Besides, according to Figure 3 , we learn that only 5.59 people need treatment under full government subsidy, much less than that under no government intervention. But the total cost of treatment is related to unit person treatment cost, which is 55.88 at high cost and 27.94 at low cost. (These exact numbers themselves have no meaning; they are only used to show the gap between different conditions.) Figure 3 shows that when the cost of treatment is high, the expenditures of implementing the full compensation mechanism are also high.
