With the rising population of farmers-turned-migrant workers (migrant workers), and various contradictions and problems thereof, the social status, employment, social security, and social welfare of migrant workers in cities are marginalized. The majority of them fall into the disadvantaged group in cities. The medicare system for migrant workers has drawn wide public attention. Developing a medicare system that suits the feature of the migrant worker group to enable them to enjoy fair treatment not only helps to improve the physique of the entire people but also contributes to solving problems facing agriculture, rural areas and farmers as well as the construction of a harmonious society.Based on the theory of human rights and fairness, social security and social stability theory, this paper probes into the medicare system for, migrant workers. The research begins with statistical evidence by asking 7138 migrant workers in Pudong New Area about their medical service needs and medicare condition via questionnaire. Then it goes deeper by comparative analysis on the three types of medicare systems for migrant workers in China and pointing out its merits and demerits. Finally it brings up with the basic point of the paper. Planning to establish a new model of medicare system for migrant workers, first we should perfect the approach to medicare systems for migrant workers. The author comes up with two principles concerning medicare systems for migrant workers, i.e. the final unified system and the current classified system. Second is to establish a classified medicare system for migrant workers for the time being, designing separate medicare schemes specifically aiming at three groups: urbanized migrant workers, floating migrant workers, and seasonal migrant workers. Third is to perfect special medicare project and medical assistance system for migrant workers.
