Is it necessary to pay medical insurance for flexible employment social security?

Paying flexible employment social security does not require paying medical insurance. Details are as follows:

1, the social security paid by flexible employees actually has medical insurance. Flexible employees are included in the scope of medical insurance coverage, which is the embodiment of comprehensive coverage of medical insurance;

2. Social security includes five kinds of insurance, including not only employee pension insurance, but also employee medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, so social security actually refers to five insurances, not a single one;

3. For flexible employees, the so-called payment of social security actually includes only two payment standards: employee pension insurance and employee medical insurance. Because flexible employees can only choose to pay pension insurance and medical insurance, flexible employees can't pay unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. Therefore, the social security of flexible employees is endowment insurance and medical insurance.
