Is rural cooperative medical care the same as social security card?

Rural cooperative medical care is different from social security card. The difference between social security card and rural cooperative medical care is as follows:

The difference between rural medical insurance and social security is reflected in payment, including items and payment methods.

1, the payment is different: rural medical insurance pays hundreds of yuan a year, while social security pays thousands or even tens of thousands a year, which is much lower than rural medical insurance;

2. Different items: rural medical insurance only includes medical insurance, but social security includes pension, unemployment, work injury and maternity insurance in addition to medical insurance;

3. Different payment methods: rural medical insurance is borne by the insured, and social security is shared by employees and companies.

Rural cooperative medical care is a medical insurance policy and welfare for rural population. Rural cooperative medical care is only a part of medical insurance, including medical insurance for urban residents, medical insurance for flexible employees and medical insurance for employees.

In the future, the rural cooperative medical association and urban residents' medical insurance will be merged, collectively referred to as urban and rural residents' medical insurance. By then, the rural population can enjoy better medical insurance benefits.
