糖尿病

(tánɡniàobìnɡ) 

A: During a negotiation, a health insurance expert managed to get medication for treating diabetes down to a bit more than four yuan, a whole yuan cheaper. 

一位医保专家在谈判现场将治疗糖尿病的药物价格讲到了四元多,便宜了一元。

(yīwèi yībǎo zhuānjiā zài tánpàn xiànchǎnɡ jiānɡ zhìliáo tánɡniàobìnɡ de yàowù jiàɡé jiǎnɡdào le sìyuán duō, piányí le yīyuán.) 

B: This is definitely great news for diabetes sufferers. If every diabetes suffer in China can save just one yuan, our country will save tens of millions of yuan a year.  

这对于糖尿病人来说肯定是好消息啊。中国的糖尿病人每人省一元钱,我们国家一年就能省几千万呢。

A: That's really great. The health insurance system has really improved a lot. I hope even more medication can drop in price, so ordinary people can afford it. 

真是好事。医保系统现在确实完善了不少。希望更多的药品能够降价,让普通人也能负担得起。
