Why do primary school students have to apply for social security cards?

Legal analysis: Whether it is necessary for children to apply for social security cards mainly depends on you personally. If the child is given a social security card, the child can pay the bill directly with the card for medical treatment and medicine purchase, and enjoy social security outpatient reimbursement and hospitalization medical insurance treatment. It can reduce children's medical expenses and strengthen the protection of children. But if the economic conditions are average, the main thing is to protect adults first.
