[摘要]商业保险具有利益再分配功能,其保障性产品的射幸原理所带来的利益再分配功能恰好能够有效弥补社会保障普惠制度分配的缺陷,优化资金的配置作用,集中有限资金重点帮助遭遇不幸的贫困阶层脱贫解困。它实质上是在不改变现行社会分配制度条件下改善人与人的利益分配关系,缩小贫富差异,促使基尼系数回归到合理范围之内,促进社会和谐发展。如果政府能够创新扶贫解困新思维,出资为贫困阶层购买商业医疗保险,不仅能够发挥商业医疗保险在扶贫解困中的资源配置优化作用,而且有助于《中国农村扶贫开发纲要》落到实处。 [关键词]和谐社会;扶贫解困;贫富差异;贫困阶层;商业医疗保险 [中图分类号] F840.684 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2006)11-0029-03 Abstract: Commercial insurance has the function of interest redistribution. This function, originating from the aleatory nature of protectiontype of commercial insurance products, can effectively make up for the deficiency of the universal social security system. It can optimize capital allocation and pool limited capital to relieve the most needy population. In essence, it is a way of improving the interest distribution relationship between people without changing the current social distribution system, narrow the disparity between the rich and the poor, move the Ginnie factor back to the reasonable range, and promote social harmony. The government can not only mobilize the resources allocation and optimization role of commercial medical insurance but also assist with the implementation of the “Guideline on Rural Poverty Relief in China” if it innovates the concept of povertyrelief and purchases commercial medical insurance for the needy population. Key words:harmonious society; povertyrelief; rich and poor disparity; needy population; commercial medical insurance
