Can I pay medical insurance only after paying 15 years of social security?

Generally speaking, it depends on the specific situation whether social security can be paid only after 15 years.

In some cases, if your social security has been paid for 15 years, you are currently unemployed or have a stable source of income, you can consider paying only medical insurance. However, this requires you to consult the local social security agency or relevant departments to understand the specific policies and processes.

In addition, if your social security has been paid for 15 years, but you are still working or have no stable source of income, I suggest you continue to pay social security to ensure that your social insurance rights and interests are protected.

Social security is a social security system established by the state to ensure that citizens get certain income and compensation in the case of old age, unemployment, work injury and maternity. It includes endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

Medical insurance is an insurance system established to ensure that citizens can get medical insurance when they are sick. Mainly to solve the economic burden of people's medical treatment and ensure that citizens can get timely and effective medical services.

Although both social security and medical insurance aim at protecting citizens' rights and interests, there are some differences in the scope of protection and implementation methods.

To sum up:

Whether you can only pay medical insurance depends on the specific situation. It is recommended that you consult local social security agencies or relevant departments to understand specific policies and processes.
