National Healthcare Security Administration Responds to Seven Consecutive Years of Decline in Resident Medical Insurance Enrollment, Down by 83 Million
On November 5, Zhang Chenguang, an official from the National Healthcare Security Administration, explained at a media briefing that the decline in enrollment was due to the removal of approximately 25 million duplicate registrations, the transition of over 60 million people to employee medical insurance, and population decline. He stated that this is a reasonable and normal decline and explicitly prohibited the assignment of mandatory enrollment quotas.
