The long-term care insurance system is based on the principle of universal coverage, ensuring that urban and rural insured individuals enjoy uniform benefits and protections. All expenses are reimbursed from the same funding pool, and different regions have generally consistent standards for coverage and service items to achieve fair treatment.

Ask AI · How does a nationally unified long-term care insurance system ensure fair treatment across urban and rural areas?

People’s Finance News, March 26, 3月26日, at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office, Wang Wenjun, deputy director of the National Healthcare Security Administration, said that the development of the long-term care insurance system adheres to the principle of covering the entire population; all employees and residents participate in long-term care insurance. The system adheres to the principle of integrating urban and rural areas: within the same pooling area, it does not distinguish between urban and rural—regardless of whether the insured person comes from the countryside or the city, they reimburse expenses from the same funding pool and receive benefits. The system adheres to the principle of fairness and uniformity: across different pooling areas, the protection targets, assessment standards, contribution rates, service items, and other aspects are basically uniform.
