Just like at this time of year, the village cadres began their busy task again - urging the delivery of NCMS. However, farmers are not so enthusiastic about this behavior. Many villagers have chosen to cut off their NCMS, complaining about the high fees, the inadequate reimbursement rate and the requirement to clear the system by the end of the year. This has aroused people's curiosity as to why village cadres are so frequently urging the NCMSAmong them, a village cadre elaborated on the real reasons behind it. In my opinion, the answer to this question is not simple, it involves the assessment indicators of village cadres, the living conditions of farmers, and the sense of responsibility of village cadres. Next, I will break it down for you one by one.
Village cadres have assessment indicators, and if they fail to complete the assessment tasks assigned by their superiors, they may face the risk of punishment or dismissal. Therefore, in order to fulfill the assessment targets issued by the superiors, the village cadres had to frequently go to the villagers' homes to carry out propaganda, hoping that they would continue to pay the NCMS. This has undoubtedly increased the work pressure on village cadres. Thinking from another perspective, if we are in the position of a village cadre, we may have the same difficulties. In the eyes of the village cadres, their behavior is not blindly for their own interests, but out of work needs and a sense of responsibility.
The time limit for NCMS in rural areas is not long. Since some farmers need to go out to do business or work in the fields, they may not be able to meet the village cadres within the stipulated time. This is also one of the reasons why village cadres may not be able to meet several times. In addition, some groups that enjoy the NCMS fee reduction and exemption policy, such as the five-guarantee households and the severely disabled, need village cadres to publicize the relevant policies so that they can enjoy the NCMS treatment in the next year. Considering these special circumstances, it seems that the frequent urging behavior of village cadres is more understandable.
Many village cadres actually have a sense of responsibility, they are worried that after the farmers refuse to pay the NCMS, if they are hospitalized with illness, they are likely to "become poor due to illness" or choose to "give up" Although the NCMS cannot fully reimburse the farmers' hospitalization expenses, at least part of it can be reimbursed to reduce their economic burden. If the farmers choose to stop paying NCMS, they are likely to be financially unable to afford it in the event of a serious illness and hospitalization, which will lead to extremely undesirable consequences. Therefore, village cadres have gone to the homes of villagers in the hope of convincing them to continue to pay for the NCMS, so as to protect the health of rural families and increase the life expectancy of the rural population.
By looking deeper into the perspectives of farmers and village officials, we can see the reasons why farmers have stopped paying NCMS, the economic pressures they face, and their doubts about the reimbursement ratio. At the same time, the village cadres' urging behavior also has its reasonable side, the assessment pressure they face, the time constraints, and the concern and sense of responsibility for the health of the farmers. As for how to solve this problem, I think we can start from the following aspects:
First of all, we can further adjust the cost structure of NCMS to link it more reasonably with farmers' incomes and reduce their economic burden. Secondly, we should increase the health education and publicity of farmers, so that they can better understand the policies and benefits of NCMS, and increase their participation and recognition. Finally, some support measures can be introduced to give some corresponding incentives and support to village cadres, so as to improve their work enthusiasm and efficiency.
In short, although the frequent behavior of village cadres urging them to hand over the NCMS has brought some trouble to the farmers, there are also hidden concerns about the health and social stability of the farmers. Village cadres and farmers should strengthen communication and work together to promote the further improvement and healthy development of rural medical security. Only in this way can we achieve comprehensive health protection for farmers and improve their sense of happiness and gain.
