Can I buy medical insurance alone without social security?

Legal analysis: generally speaking, you can't just pay social security such as medical insurance. Medical insurance is a kind of social security. If flexible employees only want medical insurance, they can only choose medical insurance to pay. However, if an employer helps its employees pay social security, it can't just pay 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 payment, without paying social security, which includes medical insurance.
