The hospital bills of COVID-19 patients found to have contracted the disease because of

“irresponsible and reckless behavior” should be excluded from the coverage of Philippine Health Insurance Corporation , Rep. Jericho Nograles proposed on Sunday .

“This only shows that many of our people are still underestimating the COVID-19 virus. We will pay for this with a second wave of infection,” he added. The National Capital Region shifted from enhanced community quarantine to modified enhanced community quarantine on Saturday . The concerned patient should fully disclose the circumstances that led to the infection not only to determine eligibility for health care coverage, but also to help authorities in their contact tracing, he said.

Reckless behavior? Could they elaborate on it? Reckless like Koko Pimentel? Or reckless like those who work despite of the pandemic? I agree with the statement, but not on the admin who will enforce it. They have been selective on who to enforce the law on.

Agree with Nograles. Government should not answer for reckless behavior whoever they are

And vips MassTestingNowPH

Hayaan na lng mamatay, ganun. Pero pag bayaran sa tax mandatory.... haaay Pilipinas.

How will they establish this? How will PhilHealth prove the infected got the covid19 through reckless behavior? Might the end of this means be more corruption?

Fair enough.

Nothing to be extra scared of diba? Bakit ngayon ganito na? Hahaha

🤣🤣🤣 how would one know if infection is due to reckless behaviour? You must be nuts!
