Impact of long-term care insurance on medical expenditure and utilization and the comparison between different pilot schemes: evidence from China
In general, this study found that LTCI implementation could effectively reduce the expenditure and utilization of medical services. The effects of different pilot schemes vary significantly. The results of this study further supplement the existing empirical evidence on the effect of LTCI and provide important policy implications for the future development of LTCI in China and other developing countries.
