Support system for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a wide variety, such as the health care, the medical economy, the environment, and mental activity. Among these measures, the laws called the social security system are defined. These systems consist of social insurance (medical insurance, long-term care insurance, pension insurance), social welfare (welfare for the disabled) and public health (measures for intractable diseases). As social support under total management of RA, patients can receive mitigation measures and subsidies (physically disabled person's certificate, high-cost medical care, etc.) for high medical expenses at use of biological products, hospitalization and surgery. Furthermore long-term care insurance and disability pension can be used as a further support of home care.
类风湿性关节炎（RA）患者的支持系统种类繁多，如医疗保健、医疗经济、环境和心理活动等。在这些措施中，定义了被称为社会保障体系的法律。这些体系包括社会保险（医疗保险、长期护理保险、养老保险）、社会福利（残疾人福利）和公共卫生（难治性疾病措施）。作为对RA全面管理下的社会支持，患者在使用生物制品、住院和手术时可获得缓解措施以及针对高额医疗费用的补贴（肢体残疾人证书、高额医疗护理等）。此外，长期护理保险和残疾抚恤金可作为家庭护理的进一步支持。
