Abstract:
Background Evidence of the impact of long-term care insurance (LTCI) on health and well-being has predominantly come from developed countries. China officially launched its city-level LTCI policy in ۲۰۱۶. Recent evidence in China has shown that having an LTCI program contributes to positive health. However, it is unclear whether such positive policy effects were attributed to policy announcement or implementation effects, and whether the policy effects vary by locality, chronic conditions, and their intersectionality. This study examines whether there are longitudinal health benefits for older Chinese who are participating in LTCI, particularly considering their city location (urban/rural), whether they have chronic conditions, and the intersectionality. Methods Following the Andersen Behavioral Model, health and satisfaction outcomes of ۹۲۵۳ adults aged ۶۰+ years were extracted from the ۲۰۱۵ and ۲۰۱۸ waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Individual data were linked to census socioeconomic data with city-level characteristics and LTCI policy variable. Multilevel lagged regression models investigated the impact of LTCI policy on health and satisfaction with health services, after controlling for baseline individual- and city-level covariates. Results Of ۱۲۵ cities in the dataset, ۲۱ (۱۶.۸%) had adopted LTCI. These city inhabitants had significantly better selfrated health and higher satisfaction relative to cities without LTCI policies when environmental- and personal-level characteristics were modeled. Health benefits of LTCI were stronger after policy announcement and were particularly observed among rural older adults and those with chronic conditions. Results also suggest that LTCI’s positive effects on satisfaction spill over to middle-aged adults. Conclusion Expanding coverage and eligibility to LTCI for all older Chinese could improve health and well-being.
