"Poverty due to illness, returning to poverty due to illness" is staged from time to time in real life. Due to the aging population, the progress and renewal of medical technology and equipment, the medical expenses borne by residents have increased year by year, and it is difficult for basic medical insurance to solve the burden borne by the masses due to serious illness.
"Serious illness medical insurance has become an important institutional arrangement to reduce the medical burden of seriously ill patients, an important link to improve the medical insurance system, and a popular project of the people in Zebei." ?
As early as August 20 12, six ministries and commissions, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Health and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, jointly issued "Guiding Opinions on Developing Serious Illness Insurance for Urban and Rural Residents", proposing to set aside a certain proportion or quota from the urban residents' medical insurance fund and the new rural cooperative medical insurance fund as the serious illness insurance fund, and hand it over to commercial insurance companies for handling, so as to improve efficiency.
After two years of active exploration, the pilot work of China's serious illness insurance system has achieved initial results.
