Rumor The number of urban and rural residents on the mainland who have participated in medical insurance has continued to decline in recent years?
Truth: This statement is inaccurate. The coverage of basic medical insurance in mainland China has remained stable at more than 95%, and the quality of insurance coverage has continued to improve. From a macro point of view, the number of residents participating in medical insurance remained stable. There have been slight fluctuations in the data in recent years, mainly due to two reasons. The first is insurance data governance. Since 2022, the medical insurance department has taken the opportunity of the launch of the national unified medical insurance information platform to clean up a total of 56 million cross-provincial and intra-provincial duplicate insurance data of residents' medical insurance for two consecutive years. This is the main reason for the fluctuation of residents' medical insurance participation data. The second is the optimization of the insurance structure. From 2020 to 2023, 5 million to 8 million insured people will switch from participating in resident medical insurance to participating in employee medical insurance every year, resulting in the number of residents and employees participating in medical insurance.
From a micro point of view, the National Health Insurance Administration recently sent special personnel to Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Gansu and other 8 provinces in 8 villages with relatively weak work foundation to carry out research on insurance work. According to the survey, among these 8 villages, 5 villages will have an increase in the number of people participating in resident medical insurance in 2023 compared with 2022, 3 villages will have a slight decrease in the number of insured people, and the overall number of insured people in 8 villages will increase by 151 compared with 2022. Taking a village in Macheng City, Hubei Province, where "multiple people surrender" is reported on the Internet, as an example, the field survey found that in 2023, 97.4% of the residents of the village will participate in medical insurance, and 30 new people will actually be insured, and only one case will not be insured due to special reasons.

Myth Stroke patients can be rescued by timely needle pricking and bloodletting?
Truth: Don't do it. Stroke (stroke) is a serious medical emergency, ischemic stroke caused by a blockage of blood vessels in the brain, and hemorrhagic stroke caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. The treatment of stroke needs to be carried out in the hospital by a professional doctor according to the specific condition of the patient. For stroke patients, the most important thing is to quickly recognize the symptoms and seek medical attention immediately.
Needle pricking and bloodletting at the time of stroke is not effective, and it can delay treatment, which may lead to worsening of the condition and even serious complications. If someone has symptoms such as a crooked face, unilateral limb weakness or slurred speech, they are likely to be at risk of stroke and should be sent to the doctor immediately.
