Can I just buy social security and not medical insurance?

Article 4 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that employers and individuals in People's Republic of China (PRC) pay social insurance premiums according to law, have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights and interests records, and may request social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consultation and other related services.

Individuals enjoy social insurance benefits according to law and have the right to supervise their own units to pay for them. At present, what we generally call "five insurances and one gold" refers to several kinds of security benefits granted to workers by employers. "Five insurances" refer to five insurances: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance (including serious illness insurance), industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance. "One gold" refers to the housing accumulation fund.

Among them, endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance and housing accumulation fund are premiums paid by enterprises and individuals, while industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance are entirely borne by enterprises, and employees do not need to pay them. It should be noted that the "five risks" are legal.

Therefore, the insured units must pay endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance in full and on time. Any default, concealment or refusal to pay is illegal. Therefore, for the five insurances, one of them cannot be paid separately.
