Will the reduction of contribution rate affect the medical insurance benefits of employees?

"Reducing the contribution rate only reduces the burden on enterprises, and the treatment of employees is not affected, because the amount of payment is stipulated and the level of treatment is originally formulated. They are not a linkage mechanism, so the level of treatment will not decrease with the decrease of the contribution rate. " Zhu Minglai, director of the Health Economics and Medical Security Research Center of Nankai University, told the People's Daily Health Client reporter.

Zhu Minglai introduced that moderately reducing the contribution rate of flexible employees has further reduced the payment burden of flexible employees, which is also a bright spot of reform. "In the past, there was a phenomenon that some flexible employees did not have fixed units, so they faced two payment methods. One is a reference employee, but it is not worthwhile for him to pay more. There is another kind, that is, resident insurance. Although the payment is small, there is a gap between the treatment and employee medical insurance. Therefore, appropriately reducing the medical insurance contribution rate of flexible employees can also encourage them to continue to participate in medical insurance as employees. This will not only improve personal treatment, but also better alleviate the pressure of state financial subsidies. "
