目前,我国农村的医疗保障制度的主体是新型农村合作制度(简称新农合)。但是由于我国城乡差距大,贫富差距日渐悬殊,新农合制度的弊端逐渐显现出来,为了完善我国农村医疗体制,医疗救助制度作为新农合的补充机制,重要性日益突出。建立健全的医疗救助机制,是完善社会保障制度的重要一步。 At present, the main body of China’s rural medical security system is the new rural cooperative system (referred to as NCMS). However, due to the large gap between urban and rural areas in our country and the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the shortcomings of the new rural cooperative medical system have gradually emerged. In order to perfect the rural medical system in our country, the medical aid system has become increasingly important as a supplementary mechanism for NCMS. Establishing a sound mechanism for medical assistance is an important step toward improving the social security system.
