Are rural medical insurance and social security together?

Rural medical insurance and social security are not together.

Social security and medical insurance are not the same thing. Simply put, social security includes medical insurance, which is a kind of social security. Social security is social insurance, including five kinds of insurance, namely, endowment insurance, medical insurance (medical insurance), unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance; And medical insurance is medical insurance. Obviously, the scope of social security is much larger than medical insurance.

The differences between social security and medical insurance are as follows:

(1) Medical insurance is a kind of social security, including medical insurance, and the scope of social security is wider;

(2) The medical insurance card has a narrow application range and is only used for medical insurance, while the social security card has a wide application range and can be used for human resources and social security.

(3) The medical insurance card can be used in a fixed area, while the social security card implements the national unified standard, which is common throughout the country;

(4) The medical insurance card has a low security level and is easy to be copied, while the social security card has a high security level.

To sum up, many changes have taken place in China's rural social security policy, including the expansion of coverage and the improvement of security level. These changes have had a positive impact on the lives of rural residents, making them more secure in facing diseases and providing for the elderly. At the same time, these changes have also promoted the economic development of rural areas to a certain extent, and promoted farmers' consumption ability and social stability. The change of rural social security policy has had a positive impact on rural development, and also brought more protection and hope to farmers' lives.
