Quick question - who is paying for this elective surgery?

Also Monday, the Iranian government said it would cover the nearly $300,000 cost of the surgery and care for the twins. Earlier, Raffles Hospital offered to underwrite the cost of the operation and doctors offered to waive their fees.

Shame on Taxcontrol for the bad assumtions. I'll go off to my corner now.
