It's good for individuals in the country to encourage the co

At 9:00 a.m. on the 7th, a press conference was held at the fourth session of the 12th National People's Congress. Lou Jiwei, Minister of finance, and Xu Hongcai, Assistant Minister of finance, answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on issues related to "financial work and fiscal and tax reform".
 
Reporter of Dushang Daily: I found that in the draft of the 13th five year plan, it was mentioned to explore the establishment of a long-term care insurance system and carry out pilot projects of long-term care insurance. My question is, does this mean paying an extra insurance in addition to the "five insurances and one fund"? How is the financial support? thank you.
 
Lou Jiwei: this problem can be solved in different ways. First of all, it is not only a place to live, but also a certain amount of medical resources. Now, there have been some explorations in various parts of the country. For example, the government purchases services to solve part of the problem. Some of them are directly organized by the government. They are faced with the elderly, and they must be provided with medical treatment. In some places, medical care and medical insurance have not yet been connected. We say that encouraging them to do so is a good thing for both the state and the individual. Some disabled elderly people, if their families do not have the conditions, can enter the community or centralized pension. If they have medical care for the elderly, they will save money from the country and individuals than in the hospital. This is a centralized one. The second is community-based. There are some wards in the community, and certain nursing care should be arranged. There are also home-based ones. Through different contact methods, what problems need to be cared for? We talk about the system mainly in the form of home, then the community, and then concentration. This is what the system is like.
 
 
Lou Jiwei: as for the source of funds, as mentioned just now, the government has a certain amount of procurement and support from the government, and it is also connected with the current medical insurance. As for whether a new type of insurance will appear, I wonder if the NHK reporter knows that Japan has this kind of insurance. After the age of 40, the elderly care insurance will be paid. After the elderly are disabled, this insurance will be used to solve the care of the disabled elderly at home, in the community and centrally arranged. So far, we haven't considered increasing the insurance. The 13th five year plan is to study how to do it.
