Can social security get a pension without paying medical insurance?

Hello! I'm glad to answer your question. I bought social security, not medical insurance. As long as the pension insurance has been paid for 15 years, I can get a pension when I reach retirement age. Medical insurance and social security are controlled separately. It is completely feasible to buy social security instead of medical insurance, but you can enjoy retirement wage protection if you pay 15 according to law. First, the relationship between medical insurance and social security. Medical insurance is also a kind of social security, which has little to do with retirement salary. It is mainly used for providing for the elderly, so as long as you pay enough pension insurance for 15 years, you can receive your retirement salary after retirement. But if you don't buy medical insurance, you can't get medical assistance after retirement. Our country does not force medical insurance and social security to pay together, and they are paid according to the individual wishes of residents. Second, the social security payment must be 15 years. Article 16 of China's Social Insurance Law: Individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance will receive the basic old-age pension on a monthly basis when they reach the statutory retirement age and have paid the accumulated contributions for fifteen years. Individuals who participate in the basic old-age insurance and pay less than fifteen years when they reach the statutory retirement age can pay for fifteen years and receive the basic pension on a monthly basis; Can also be transferred to the new rural social endowment insurance or urban residents' social endowment insurance, enjoy the corresponding pension insurance benefits in accordance with the provisions of the State Council. Third, if the economy allows, you should also pay medical insurance. According to Chinese laws, male medical insurance contributions must reach 25 years, and female medical insurance contributions must reach 20 years, so that they can enjoy medical insurance in their old age. In view of the high medical expenses in China, the incomplete cure of major diseases and the expensive chronic diseases, I suggest that we can pay medical insurance together when paying social security. This can also solve the pressure of treatment cost for sudden diseases after old age. To sum up, social security includes pension and some medical expenses insurance, so as long as you pay enough and meet the statutory time limit of 15, you can get the pension directly in your later years without any conditions. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
