Abstract The integration of urban and rural medical security has been an important issue in the study of urban and rural development. Recent research and practice focus on merging different medical insurance system and unifying management organizations. Under the governmental guidance, achieving a form of "integration" may not be difficult, but new inequality will occur if the different economic and security levels between the urban and rural areas are not properly considered, which will result in an integration lack of inherent power. Institutional transition promoted by the inherent power tends to be more successful. In order to realize the actual integration of urban and rural medical insurance system., we should gradually implement the localization of insurance and service; clearly define the functions of different insurance fund accounts; raise actual compensation ratio; ensure the growth of rural health insurance premium, and implement the policy of compulsory insurance.
