Income-related benefit mobility before and after Urban and Rural Resident Basic Medical Insurance integration: a longitudinal analysis of China
The findings indicated that income-related inequalities in medical insurance benefits were narrowed due to pro-poor changes in inpatient care equity for inpatient care after integration. This integration has contributed to building a more equitable healthcare system. However, further efforts are needed to expand outpatient benefit coverage in the integrated URRBMI scheme.
