The Peasant Workers in Beijing Uniformly Include Medical Insurance for Urban Employees without Participation in the New Rural Cooperatives

Beijing announced the integration of migrant workers into the scope of medical insurance for urban employees in Beijing. After the implementation of the new policy, will migrant workers receive the same treatment after they have medical insurance cards?

Beijing announced the integration of migrant workers into the coverage of medical insurance for urban workers in Beijing. This new policy has caused heated discussions among the majority of peasant workers in Beijing. Many migrant workers have welcomed this policy. Xiao Shen, who has been working in Beijing for the past few years, told reporters that he can participate in employee medical insurance and receive reimbursement for outpatient treatment. For these migrant workers, it is really good news.

Xiao Shen said that he had been working on a construction site in Beijing for two years, but he could not adapt to the soil and water in Beijing. The heating conditions in the dormitory are not good. He has a few colds and fevers every winter. Previous medical insurance can only reimburse hospitalization expenses. Outpatient expenses like colds can only be paid at their own expense. For a low-income group like him, it is a big burden. Now that we have a new policy, we can save one point. It is a good thing to be able to reimburse more points. Many people said that foreigners are included in the scope of basic medical insurance for workers in Beijing, making it a further step on the road to equal access to citizen treatment.

There are also a number of migrant workers who have raised some questions. One of the concerns is that there is a conflict between the NCMS and Beijing employees’ basic medical insurance. For many migrant workers, many people also participate in the new rural cooperative medical system in their hometowns. After coming to work in Beijing, they will participate in basic medical insurance for workers in Beijing in the future. Will the two conflict? The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Humanities and Social Affairs explained that because medical bills cannot be reimbursed repeatedly. The level of social security in Beijing is relatively high. Therefore, the level of reimbursement for basic medical insurance for workers in Beijing has basically been able to meet the needs of the participants. Therefore, peasant workers in Beijing do not need to participate in the insurance again and participate in the new rural cooperative medical insurance in their hometowns.

In addition, some foreign migrant workers worry that they may go to work in another city or plan to return to their old home to retire when they are old. They fear that the social insurance premiums they pay in Beijing cannot follow their own. In this regard, the social security department also explained that at present, China has established a transfer of medical insurance follow-up methods, when necessary, migrant workers can completely transfer the number of years in Beijing and health insurance accounts to other places.
