US media is investigating the costs associated with Donald Trump’s treatment for COVID-19. These costs involved treatment, rehabilitation, and a round-trip helicopter ride to the hospital. Notably, the US President's health care is actually funded from taxpayers’ money. Earlier this month, Donald Trump spent three days in the hospital undergoing treatment for coronavirus. It is estimated that the bill for COVID-19 testing, an antibody medication, a three-day hospital stay, and a helicopter ride could have exceeded $100,000. This amount also includes the costs of additional medical services and experimental drugs that are not covered by standard health insurance. All this has made the President's hospitalization quite expensive. Given that Melania Trump was also infected with COVID-19, the sum spent for the treatment can be easily doubled. It is worth noting that all the calculations are based on the average cost of COVID-19 treatment according to the US healthcare system. However, the actual bill for Donald Trump’s hospital stay is not disclosed. In early October, Donald Trump officially announced on Twitter that he and his wife, Melania Trump, both tested positive for coronavirus. The US President was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, located in Bethesda, Maryland. Three days later, he was discharged from hospital and returned to the White House.
