More than 7200 retirees do not need to pay the insurance fee can enjoy treatment of insurance is how long? From 2015 released in early November "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in planning advice to" last week, the Treasury secretary, Mr Lou in qiushi magazine articles have made it clear that the government is studying worker health insurance retiree payment policy, the need to pay about $180 a month per person.

Retirees should continue to pay insurance, pay is how much, is an important part of social insurance reform. As Lou jiwei, points out, the current social security system design and operation there are still some deep-seated contradictions and problems, risks should not be ignored. The outstanding performance of the first is that the social insurance system did not reflect an actuarial balance principle, the fund and poor financial sustainability. However, whether the in-depth reform of social insurance system have to detract from retiree benefits, is worth exploring. The author thinks that to retirees pay policies need to be careful of the implementation of the health care.

Technically, retirees should pay health insurance, involves the "social insurance law". According to the stipulations of the law, retiree is do not need to pay health insurance. In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the "the protection of old people's rights, the elderly should enjoy the government and society to provide a series of preferential treatment and protection. That is to say, the policy changes need to modify the relevant laws, to reach a consensus.

Law rather than modify may not be as the change of the situation, but whether pay retiree health care is not only a change in the law so simple, more about the government's commitment to the people in terms of social security. Supposedly, pension, medical, unemployment and other social guarantee mechanism should be borne is the government's public service function, is the important content of safeguard the welfare of the people's livelihood. Is, the so-called security is arranged in the country as a whole, the young child in his time, and in sickness.

A dramatic increase in medical expenses, health care financing growth and population aging under the superposition of three factors, medical insurance fund balance of pressure is a fact. But do not cover the medical insurance fund to receive the problem doesn't have to pay health care for retirees. Health care as an integral part of social welfare and security content, its healthy operation needs to be balanced and fully operational. As appropriate to transfer state-owned enterprises profit medical insurance fund, strictly investigate excessive medical treatment and high-priced drugs, encourage commercial medical insurance to cover health board, etc. When all open source throttling measures are used up, health insurance as a whole fund still do not receive arrival of the team, and ask for retirees to pay health also not late, and can build consensus, reduce resistance.
