Is the new rural cooperative medical insurance or social security?

Legal analysis: the new rural cooperative medical system does not belong to social medical insurance, which includes five insurances. People who face it are all citizens of China. If a citizen of China works in an employer, according to the regulations, the employer must pay five insurances, and employees cannot give up paying social insurance. If you are a flexible employee, you can choose to pay or not. Social security can not only reimburse medical expenses, but also provide pensions, receive unemployment benefits, enjoy maternity reimbursement and industrial injury compensation, and cover much more benefits than the new rural cooperative medical system.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Article 1 This Law is formulated in accordance with the Constitution for the purpose of adjusting the social insurance relationship, safeguarding citizens' legitimate rights and interests in participating in social insurance and enjoying social insurance benefits, enabling citizens to share the fruits of development and promoting social harmony and stability.

Article 2 The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance, so as to guarantee citizens' right to receive material assistance from the state and society in accordance with the law in case of old age, illness, industrial injury, unemployment and maternity.
