This article aimed to compare the public and commercial medical insurance enrollment rates between temporary, permanent migrants and urban natives.Methods: Average marginal effects (AME) of the weighted logistic regression models using 2017 China General Social Survey from 2,068 urban natives, 1,285 temporary migrants, and 1,295 permanent migrants.Results: After controlling for the demographic and socio-economic characteristics, our results show that while the temporary and permanent migrants have a similar public insurance enrollment rate compared with the urban natives, both temporary and permanent migrants have significantly lower commercial insurance enrollment rates (7.5 and 5.3%, respectively) compared with the urban natives.Conclusions: The results highlight significant institutional barriers preventing the temporary migrants from gaining access to public medical insurance and the adverse impact of disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds on the access of temporary migrants to both public and commercial insurance.Senhu WangAnran LiuWei GuoWei GuoFrontiers Media S.A.articlepublic medical insurancecommercial medical insurancerural-to- urban migrantsChinapublic healthPublic aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENFrontiers in Public Health, Vol 9 (2021)
