Social security is the general name of the five insurances: endowment insurance, medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. Medical insurance and social security mainly have the following differences:

1, medical insurance is a kind of social security, and social security includes medical insurance, which covers a wider range;

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

Social insurance is an important part of the social security system and occupies a core position in the whole social security system. In addition, social insurance is a contributory social security. The funds are mainly paid by employers and workers themselves, and the government finances give subsidies and bear the ultimate responsibility. However, workers can only enjoy the corresponding social insurance benefits if they fulfill their statutory payment obligations and meet the statutory conditions.
