At 9:00 a.m. on the 7th, the fourth session of the 12th National People's Congress held a press conference. Finance minister loujiwei and assistant finance minister xuhongcai talked about“ Fiscal work and fiscal and taxation reform” Answer questions from Chinese and foreign journalists.

Reporter from Dushang Daily: I found in“ The 13th five year plan” The draft planning outline mentions a pilot project to explore the establishment of a long-term care insurance system and carry out long-term care insurance. My question is, does this mean that“ Five insurances and one fund” You need to pay an extra insurance? How can finance support it? Thank you.

Loujiwei: this problem can be solved in different ways. First of all, it not only has a place to live, but also has certain medical resources. There have been some explorations in various places to solve the problem. For example, some of them are directly organized by the government through the purchase of services by the government. They are faced with the elderly and have disability, which must be accompanied by medical treatment. In some places, medical care and medical insurance have not been connected yet. We say that it is good for the country and individuals to encourage them to connect medical care and medical insurance. If the family does not have the conditions, some disabled elderly can enter the community or provide for the elderly in a centralized way. If they have medical care for the elderly, it will save costs in the country and individuals than in the hospital. This is a centralized way. The second is community-based. There are some wards in the community, which need to be provided with certain care. There are also home-based. Through different contact methods, what problems need to be cared for? This system is mainly in the form of home, then in the community, and then in the concentration. This is what the system is like first.

Loujiwei: as for the source of funds, as I said just now, the government has certain procurement and support for personal burden, and it also has access to the current medical insurance. As for whether a new type of insurance will appear, I wonder whether this reporter from NHK knows that Japan has this type 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 in a centralized arrangement. So far, we have not considered increasing this risk,“ The 13th five year plan” They said they were studying how to do it.
