ABSTRACT

This article delves into the current situation, issues, and legal improvement paths of the comprehensive coverage of basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in Sichuan. The article first outlines the development of the Sichuan medical insurance system, from its initial establishment to gradual improvement and expansion, achieving extensive medical insurance coverage. However, during implementation, Sichuan still faces issues such as uneven distribution of medical resources, population aging, the impact of delayed retirement policies, decreasing willingness of young people to participate in insurance, and difficulties in increasing insurance rates in rural areas. In response to these problems, the article proposes legal improvement paths, including establishing and improving legal protection mechanisms, strengthening legal enforcement and supervision, and enhancing financial support and policy coordination. The aim is to optimize the medical insurance system, improve the accessibility and fairness of medical services, and ensure that urban and rural residents in Sichuan can equally enjoy high-quality medical security.
