Can social security stop paying and only pay medical insurance?

Yes, it is ok to pay only medical insurance and not social security. Those with local household registration can only buy medical insurance for urban and rural residents and participate in one item alone. In principle, flexible employees are insured together with medical care and pension, but the regulations vary from place to place. In some places, it is stipulated that flexible employees can choose a single type of insurance to pay, and individuals can bring proof to the social security agency where their household registration is located.

The lawyer replied.

Social security is suspended. If it is an individual, you can only pay medical insurance. Details are as follows:

1. If it is an enterprise employee, the unit must apply for social security, including basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

2. If you are not an employee working in the unit, you can pay residents' medical insurance or endowment insurance in your personal capacity.
