  Jordan: Social Security Corporation to expand health insurance coverage
 
  The board of the Social Security Corporation (SSC) has referred its decision to the cabinet to extend its health insurance coverage to subscribers and retirees who are currently uninsured, said media reports.

The proposed move aims to boost health coverage for workers in small- and medium-sized private companies. Under the plan, the board has agreed to establish a separate fund for health insurance and to form an ad-hoc committee to come up with a special health insurance system for its subscribers and retirees.

Currently, the number of corporation's beneficiaries and families without health insurance is about 1.3 million.
