Zhang Yinghua, executive researcher of the World Social Security Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the Economic Information Daily that raising the financial per capita subsidy standard and individual payment standard at the same time will enhance the income capacity of the medical insurance fund for urban and rural residents and ensure the healthy and sustainable operation of the system.
