Participation in private insurance plans is usually voluntary, and if insurance is essential, individuals can usually choose insurance companies. Participation in the social insurance system is usually mandatory, and if participation is optional, costs are sufficiently subsidized to ensure basic participation. The right of welfare in the private insurance system is contract based on insurance contract. Before the end of the contract period, insurance companies usually do not have unilateral rights to change or terminate insurance (unless insurance premiums are not paid). Because the social insurance system is usually based on regulations, not contracts, beneficiary rights are not contractual but statutory. If the rules are changed, you can change the rules of the program.
