Regarding the fact that the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine mainly uses the rolling balance of the medical insurance fund, I am of course very pleased. The country can ensure that all 1.4 billion people in the country can be vaccinated against the COVID-19 vaccine in such a short period of time. It is really a matter of urgency. It is not necessary.

Even if we the masses pay a penny, it will not affect the income and expenditure of the current medical insurance fund. It is really three birds with one stone to allow the masses to boldly and confidently receive the new crown vaccine!

great!

The relevant person in charge of the National Health Commission stated that free vaccination after conditional listing is based on residents' informed and voluntary conditions. The cost of the vaccine provided by the company at an agreed price, plus all the costs of our vaccination services, will be borne by the medical insurance fund and the finance.

***The same burden is shared, and individual residents do not bear the cost.

In other words, while we are all using the new crown vaccine for free, the medical insurance money we pay will not be affected. As usual, it is just a statement from the state to reassure everyone!

What does the "rolling balance" of the medical insurance fund refer to? Let's first talk about what a balance is: For example, if we earn 8,000 yuan this month and spend 3,000 yuan that month, then the remaining 5,000 yuan is the balance.

What is rolling savings: Since we have worked for more than one month, the money we save each month is rolling over.

The combined balance is the rolling balance.

Then the balance of the medical insurance fund is: the income of the medical insurance fund this month, minus the expenditure of the fund this month, is the balance.

In the same way, the rolling balance is the money remaining in the medical insurance fund since the establishment of the medical insurance fund system.

Some people may be worried. Is the balance of the medical insurance fund enough to vaccinate China's current population of 1.4 billion?

Don't worry about this, besides, the cost of vaccination is not only paid by the medical insurance fund alone, but also paid by financial funds.

In 2014, the National Social Security Fund Budget announced by the Ministry of Finance showed that according to the budget, by the end of 2014, the rolling balance of my country's Urban Employees Basic Medical Insurance Fund and Resident Basic Medical Insurance Fund would reach 1.0751 billion yuan.

This is the first time that the balance of the medical insurance fund has exceeded one trillion yuan.

By 2020, the current balance of my country's basic medical insurance fund will be approximately 270 billion yuan, with a cumulative balance of 3 trillion yuan.

That is, at the end of last year, the "rolling balance" of my country's basic medical insurance fund was 3 trillion yuan.

3 trillion yuan, people, don’t worry, the money is here, we don’t need our own money for medical insurance.

The state has also made it clear: The medical insurance fund is not like the basic pension fund. We hope to have more pension savings to cope with aging and the pension benefits of more elderly people in the future.

From the design of my country's medical insurance fund system, we hope that it will be able to make cash payments and have a slight balance.

In other words, the monthly fund income is enough to ensure the insured's medical insurance benefits, and there will be a slight balance to prepare for major future expenditures.

Suo Lingyan said that major expenditures such as COVID-19 vaccination are "major expenditures" that can be used as the rolling balance of the medical insurance fund system is designed.
