Are medical insurance and social security together?

Medical insurance and social security are together.

Accurately speaking, medical insurance itself is included in social security and is a part of social security. They are an organic whole, and social security consists of five risks: medical insurance, endowment insurance, unemployment insurance, industrial injury insurance and maternity insurance. Therefore, social security is also called "five insurances", and the combination of social security and housing provident fund is what we often call "five insurances and one gold".

It is naturally wrong to say that "social security and medical insurance are paid separately". These five insurances are generally paid together, and the employer will deduct them from the employee's salary every month.

However, we need to pay attention to one thing. If residents are insured by social security or as flexible employees, they generally do not need to pay unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, but they still need to pay pension insurance and medical insurance.

Employee social security, resident social security and flexible employment social security have the best treatment, so it is recommended to participate in employee social security.
