Rural areas are an important foundation for China 's social stability. Actively promoting the implementation of the urban and rural medical insurance system and providing better medical security for rural residents can improve their family 's ability to resist risks, thus promoting the increase of rural family education expenditure. This paper uses CHFS data in 2017 and 2019 to study the impact of urban and rural medical insurance co-ordination and rural family education expenditure by constructing a fixed effect model. The results show that participation in urban and rural medical insurance can promote rural family education expenditure ; through heterogeneity analysis, it is found that compared with urban families, participation in urban and rural medical insurance has a significant role in promoting rural family education expenditure ; in terms of regional characteristics, compared with rural families in economically developed eastern regions, the promotion effect of urban and rural medical insurance on rural family education expenditure in central and western regions is more significant.
