Overview

Analysis reveals the IRSMI policy increases rehabilitation services utilization and healthcare expenditure among older adults, highlighting inequality among different demographics.

Key Points

  • IRSMI significantly raises the use of rehabilitation services among older adults with disabilities, especially for males.
  • The policy led to a 20.3% increase in annual healthcare expenditures for households with older adults with disabilities.
  • Utilization of rehabilitation services mediates the relationship between IRSMI and healthcare expenditure for households.
  • Heterogeneous effects of IRSMI point to structural inequities in the rehabilitation system based on demographics and income.
