Does the social security paid by individuals include medical insurance?

Personal social security includes medical insurance.

But what we usually call social security refers to pension insurance benefits, but in fact, social security includes five kinds of insurance, including not only employee pension insurance, but also employee medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. Therefore, social security actually refers to five insurances, not a single one, but only for our employee pension insurance.

The social insurance plan is organized by the government, forcing a certain group to use part of its income as social insurance tax (fee) to form a social insurance fund. Under certain conditions, the insured can get fixed income or loss compensation from the fund. It is a redistribution system, and its goal is to ensure the reproduction of material and labor and social stability.

In China, social insurance is an important part of the social security system, occupying 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.

Medical insurance refers to social medical insurance. It is a social insurance system that meets the basic medical needs of the state and society according to laws and regulations when workers are sick.
