Basic concept of medical insurance pooling fund
The overall medical insurance fund refers to the special fund raised by the state and local governments to pay the medical expenses of the insured. Its sources include individual contributions, unit contributions and government subsidies. The main function of the medical insurance fund is to provide medical insurance for the insured, ensure that they can get timely and effective treatment when they are sick, and reduce their economic burden.
To sum up, the medical insurance fund will not be cleared every year, but will be accumulated and carried forward for a long time.
