这份181页的医院账单列出了弗洛先生在伊萨夸的瑞典医疗中心接受的所有治疗和费用,官方应付金额为112万2501.04美元。
Fortunately for Mr Flor, he was on Medicare when entering the facility, which means a majority of the bill will be covered.
幸运的是,弗洛在入院时已加入联邦医疗保险,这意味着大部分账单将由保险支付。
The US government could also foot portions or the entirety of the bill because Congress set aside $100bn to help hospitals and insurance companies amid the pandemic. But officials have warned this amount might not be enough, with estimates reaching $500bn in costs to treat US coronavirus patients.
美国政府还可能会承担部分或全部账单,因为国会已拨款1000亿美元,帮助医院和保险公司应对疫情。但官员们警告称,这一数额可能不够。据估计,美国新冠肺炎患者的治疗成本将达到5000亿美元。

Mr Flor told the newspaper he held some “survivor’s guilt” from surviving the virus, which often attacks the upper respiratory system. The hospital bill only added to that guilt.
弗洛告诉《西雅图时报》,他对幸存下来感到内疚,医院的账单只会加重他的负罪感。新冠病毒经常攻击上呼吸道。
“I feel guilty about surviving,” he said. “There’s a sense of ‘why me?’ Why did I deserve all this? Looking at the incredible cost of it all definitely adds to that survivor’s guilt.”
