The Protection Of Legal Rights Of The Partakers In The New-type Rural Cooperative Medical System

The New-type Rural Cooperative Medical System is a farmers'medical mutual help system, which is organized guided and supported by government, and joined by farmers on volunteer basis. It is financed by individuals collectives and governments, and its stress is put on comprehensive arrangement for serious diseases and preventing the problems of poverty caused by illness.In 2003, NRCMS began to be piloted in some areas, and then was gradually popularized at all over the country. As of the end of 2009, there are 2,716 counties which launched NRCMS, and the members of it have reached 833 million. A total of 1.65 billion people got compensation. The average per compensation sum rises from 690 yuan to 1,180 yuan. The actual proportion of compensation to the total rises from 25% to 41%. Generally speaking, NRCMS relieves the heavy burden caused by medical expenditure and benefits lots of farmers on a large degree. With no doubt, farmers are the weakest and most need help. Despite the manpower material and financial recourses put into by governments, whether the difficulty of getting medical service is thoroughly resolved after the farmers joined the NRCMS? Whether their legal right is protected? To solve these problems, I think it is necessary to see and find all the kinds of problems about getting medical service from the point of farmers'rights'protection.
