Can the unit only pay social security and not medical insurance?

Only pay social security, not medical insurance.

Social security includes medical insurance. Both medical insurance and social security are paid voluntarily. If you just want to get medical insurance, you can only choose medical insurance to pay. The unit must handle social security for you, including basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance. Therefore, if the unit only pays medical insurance and does not pay social security, it is unacceptable, but individuals can pay medical insurance themselves.

Social insurance refers to a social and economic system that provides income or compensation for people who lose their ability to work, are temporarily unemployed or suffer losses due to health reasons. The main items of social insurance include endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance.

The differences between social security and medical insurance are as follows:

1, with different concepts, social security card is a social security card, which is an integrated circuit card issued by human resources and social security departments in various fields of human resources and social security. Medical insurance card is a special card for personal account of medical insurance, which takes personal ID card as the identification code and stores detailed information such as personal ID card number, name, gender, payment and account capital consumption.

2, different functions, social security card not only has the function of medical insurance card, but also is an important document for handling various social security businesses, such as receiving unemployment benefits. However, the medical insurance card is limited to the medical insurance function and can only be used to enjoy medical insurance benefits;

3. Different card issuing departments, medical insurance cards are undertaken by local designated agent banks, and social security cards are issued to the society by local human resources and social security departments;

4, the security performance is different, the social security card has strict key management system and approval, and the security factor is high; However, the medical insurance card does not have such a management system, and the safety factor is low.
