Is health care free for people over 80

Today we're going to talk about one of the recent hot topics, the elderly over 80 years old is not free medical care? Recently, I do not know from where the news circulated, said the health insurance has new rules, more than 80 years of age to see the elderly are free of charge, this rumor is a little too false, China currently does not have such a policy, last year, the new free health care policy is also introduced for military spouses, their medical care is free of charge. Mainly or the number of elderly people is too much, our country can not afford such a large financial group, coupled with the body is prone to all kinds of problems after the old, almost all a little sick and pain, the elderly in the medical expenditure is undoubtedly huge, if the country really introduced such a policy, the major news platforms have long been exploding, in the government's official website should also be able to retrieve the relevant documents

This is the first time I've ever seen a person with a high level of health care, but now I can't find anything to search for, so I'm basically sure it's a rumor.

In fact, this topic is not no one has raised, there are many deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the implementation of free medical policy recommendations for the elderly, but have not been adopted, the number of people in our country is too much, the number of people covered by the current health care insurance is 100 million people, the participation rate of 95% or more, basically can say that now see a doctor from the oldest to the youngest can not be separated from the medical insurance, and the senior citizens if the implementation of free medical care, is not conducive to the long-term health care system in our country, but also the implementation of free medical care. Is not conducive to the long-term stable development of China's health insurance system. China's current health insurance fund account support capacity is not so sufficient, if the implementation of free medical care for the elderly, the health insurance fund will certainly be tilted to the elderly group, the level of health insurance treatment for ordinary people may be reduced, and the elderly rely on their own medical care does not cost money, something to go to the hospital to do a checkup, which is also very likely to happen, will result in the real need for medical insurance is not well taken care of, by the people do not need medical insurance reimbursement, and the elderly will not be able to get good care, and will not be able to get good care. By not needing health insurance reimbursement for unnecessary waste, in the long run, China's health insurance fund can not afford, so at this stage, China is not going to implement free medical care for the elderly.

Although free medical care for the elderly can not be done for the time being, but you can enjoy the tilt of the health insurance care, such as the current urban workers health insurance policy, as long as the contributions to a certain number of years, you can not pay the health insurance after retirement, but you can enjoy a lifetime of health insurance reimbursement, which is also a very humane policy. This is also a very humane policy. In addition, this year's urban workers' health insurance has expanded the scope of use of their own health insurance can also be used for their parents and children, so that the utilization rate of health insurance is maximized. This year's new health insurance policy, not only the spouse of the military can be free of charge, parents can also enjoy preferential medical treatment, you can enjoy preferential policies, or very good.

In general, free medical care for the elderly is a rumor, this policy will not be implemented for the time being, we have to do not believe rumors do not spread rumors, to see this kind of news without the actual basis of the first thing to do is to check. For the elderly, health insurance can be reimbursed for medical expenses has been very good, which can slow down a large part of the pressure of treatment, generally speaking, the employee health insurance reimbursement ratio is very high, as long as it is not a disease, the cost of their own will not be too high, urban and rural residents, although the reimbursement ratio of the relatively urban workers are not as high as the health insurance, but at least can be reimbursed about 50%, better than not reimbursed.
