Updated: 2008-05-28 10:09 China's finance and health ministries are mulling policies concerning the treatment cost of the quake injured and hospital patients. Chen Xianyi, director of the Emergency Response Office under the Health Ministry, told a press conference Tuesday that consultations were in progress and the results would be submitted to the State Council, China's cabinet. Afterwards, a series of policies are expected to come out concerning the quake survivors' medical costs.
