The State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the relevant situation of accelerating the establishment of a long-term care insurance system. At the meeting, Wang Wenjun, Deputy Director of the National Healthcare Security Administration, stated that the "15th Five Year Plan" clearly requires the implementation of long-term care insurance, and the specific timetable and roadmap are reflected in the "3-year" target stipulated in the "Opinions". That is to say, within about 3 years, a long-term care insurance system that adapts to the basic national conditions of China will be basically established, and by the end of 2028, this system will be fully covered throughout the country. Wang Wenjun elaborated on the specific timetable and roadmap for the implementation of the system. She pointed out that from the perspective of overall planning, it can start with city and prefecture level planning, or explore provincial-level planning based on local conditions. Recently, Hainan Province has released a system establishment plan, exploring provincial-level coordination. In terms of the pace of implementation, each province will determine the specific steps and batches of reform according to the actual situation. Cities with conditions can take the lead, while cities without conditions can consolidate their conditions before implementation. Do not adopt a one size fits all approach. In terms of coverage population, we can start with the employee population and gradually cover urban and rural residents, or both employees and urban and rural residents can be included in the coverage scope of the system. Wang Wenjun stated that in summary, the establishment and implementation of systems should be based on reality, seek truth from facts, actively and steadily, and effectively do good things and practical things.
