Recently, our village once again issued a notice on the payment of medical premiums for urban and rural residents. In order to ensure that every villager can pay for insurance in a timely manner, the village has released the payment deadline in advance, and identified the villagers who have just been included in the scope of low-income dynamic monitoring in order to enjoy the relevant subsidy policies. This year, the village has also introduced more subsidy policies, such as the implementation of full subsidies for people living in extreme poverty, and the implementation of proportion reduction and exemption for low-income households, households that are unstable in poverty alleviation, and some monitoring targets. Although these policies only apply to eligible villagers, many people hope that the village will give additional subsidies to ease the burden of paying fees. According to the deadline for centralized payment notified by various places, many places choose to do it before New Year's Day, so if nothing else, before New Year's Day, I believe that many villages will go door-to-door to remind villagers to pay medical premiums. This is not only a responsible measure for village cadres, but also to avoid the situation of increasing the financial burden of families due to non-insurance.
In recent years, as many people voluntarily withdraw their health insurance contributions, there has been an increase in the number of people who are unable to enjoy medical reimbursement when they are sick and hospitalized because they do not participate in health insurance, putting pressure on the family economy. Therefore, the village has been reminding the village to pay health insurance premiums door-to-door, aiming to prevent this situation from further aggravating. In addition, some localities also hope to increase the participation rate of villagers by urging them to pay premiums, so that more people can enjoy medical insurance. This door-to-door reminder method can timely find out the villagers who have forgotten to pay the premiums and guide them to participate in medical insurance, and at the same time, it can also find people who are not willing to pay medical premiums, and take corresponding measures to strengthen publicity and education. Although some villagers have different opinions on this kind of reminder and think that it does not respect individual freedom, many villagers believe that it is the village's concern and responsibility for the whole village, and it deserves support.
It is not easy for villagers to pay medical premiums every year, and some people may worry that their income will not be able to cover the cost, especially in the case of a bad economic situation, which will further increase the burden of paying medical premiums. In addition, some people are also dissatisfied with the function and reimbursement scope of medical insurance, believing that even if they pay medical premiums, they will have to spend a lot of money to see a doctor, and feel that the money spent is similar regardless of whether they are insured or not. As a result, these people will choose not to pay health insurance premiums. However, by communicating with these villagers, we also found different reasons and confusions.
Some villagers believe that their income has reached the point where they cannot afford the cost of medical insurance, and they are worried that as the cost increases, it will become more and more unaffordable in the future. Especially in the bad economic situation this year, many people have no extra money to participate in medical insurance. For them, not paying medical premiums has become a helpless choice. In addition, some villagers are dissatisfied with the function and reimbursement scope of medical insurance, thinking that even if they pay medical premiums, they still need to spend a lot of money to see a doctor, and they feel that the money spent on insurance or not is about the same. As a result, they also choose not to pay health insurance premiums.
We can understand that in recent times, many villages have also strengthened publicity and guidance, and village cadres have actively publicized and guided villagers to participate in medical insurance. Although it is true that some villagers are reluctant to pay medical premiums in the process of collection, through communication with them, we can understand the reasons. Advocacy work in the village can be effective in changing the attitudes of some villagers and making them aware of the importance and benefits of health insurance. Communication with the villagers can also help us understand some questions and confusions, and then answer and solve them. Therefore, the publicity and guidance of the village is very important, which can promote the willingness of villagers to participate in the insurance and improve the overall insurance participation rate.
In general, the village's door-to-door reminder before New Year's Day is not a targeted measure, but to ensure that every villager can pay medical premiums in a timely manner and enjoy the corresponding health protection and subsidy policies. Through this reminder, the village can not only find the uninsured villagers in time, and provide guidance, publicity and education, but also understand the villagers' doubts and confusion about medical insurance, and provide them with better answers and services. Of course, there are some controversies and different opinions about this practice in the villages, but after an in-depth understanding, we can see that villages around the country are increasing publicity and guidance work, hoping to provide better medical security and services for the villagers. Personally, I believe that medical insurance is very important for everyone, not only to solve the problem of personal medical treatment, but also to reduce the financial burden of the family. For those who cannot afford the cost of medical insurance, they should be helped to enjoy medical protection by strengthening the subsidy policy. At the same time, it is also necessary to further improve the medical insurance system, improve the scope of reimbursement and service quality, and provide better medical protection for villagers. Overall, reminding villagers to pay fees is a responsible initiative for the health of the community and the stability and happiness of the village.
