How much is stealing a medical insurance card a criminal offence?

Stealing medical insurance cards belongs to theft in law and can be punished by public security organs. If the amount is relatively large, it constitutes theft and bears criminal responsibility. The funds in the social security card are the basic medical insurance expenses for urban workers paid by units and individuals, which belong to personal property. According to the constitutive requirements of theft, the criminal suspect has the intention of illegal possession subjectively, and objectively carried out a password test to secretly steal money from other people's social security accounts, which is relatively large, which conforms to the behavior pattern and constitutive requirements of theft. The act of stealing social security cards infringes on personal property ownership, rather than disturbing the financial order and market economic order. To sum up, stealing social security cards should be considered as theft.
