Is the new rural cooperative medical system the same as social security?

Social security and cooperative medical care are different. Social security card and cooperative medical care have similar functions in medical care. But the details are still different.

The cooperative medical system is that rural residents who have reached the age of 16 and have not participated in the basic old-age insurance for urban workers can voluntarily participate in the insurance at their domicile. It consists of individual contributions, collective subsidies and government subsidies. Elderly people with rural household registration who have reached the age of 60 and have not enjoyed the basic old-age insurance for urban workers can receive a monthly pension.

Social security is to take part in the work, some of which are paid by yourself and some companies: pension, medical care, work injury, unemployment, maternity and provident fund (five insurances and one gold). Medical insurance in social security can enjoy outpatient reimbursement and hospitalization concessions. Both enterprises and individuals need to pay, but all the medical insurance premiums paid by individuals in the current month are transferred to their own medical insurance cards or passbooks, that is, individuals do not have to pay. You can usually use the money in this account to buy medicine or pay for it.
