Victims of Beijing Blaze Learn Health Insurance Won't Cover Medical Bills

(Beijing) – More than a dozen people who were recently hurt in a fire in a residential building that was intentionally started by an upset boyfriend have found they cannot use their national health insurance because the incident involves criminal activity.

The blaze was started on September 22 in a six-story apartment building in northeastern Beijing by a man who had a fight with his girlfriend over the phone, police said.
