【Abstract】Objective: To scientifically analyze and objectively evaluate long-term care insurance policies from the perspective of common prosperity, and to explore the existing problems and optimization paths of policies, so as to provide theoretical reference and practical basis for policy formulation and optimization. Methods: The policy text quantification method was used to construct a comprehensive policy evaluation system using the PMC index model, and the long-term care insurance policies issued by the central and provincial governments from 2016 to 2022 were quantitatively evaluated. Conclusion: The laws and regulations of long-term care insurance are not perfect, the dependence of fund raising on medical insurance funds is high, the responsibility of individual payment needs to be further clarified, the coverage of the system is still insufficient, and rural areas are facing the dilemma of insufficient professional nursing institutions and personnel. It is recommended to strengthen the top-level design of policies, introduce corresponding laws and regulations, improve the implementation rules of policies, give full play to the role of incentive policy tools, promote the prosperity and development of the long-term care insurance market, realize diversified fund financing, establish and improve the fund supervision mechanism, and expand the coverage of insured objects guided by common prosperity.
