Comparing Estimates of the Uninsured Across Surveys: Federal and State Numbers
October 26, 2015:
A new brief from SHADAC researchers examines 2014 estimates of the uninsured across five federal government surveys, comparing numbers at the national and state level. The brief is an annual update created for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Two key tables from the briefare provided below. The first compares national uninsurance estimates across all five surveys for both the total population and nonelderly adults. The second compares state uninsurance estimates across four of the five surveys (the MEPS-HC does not provide state-level estimates) for the same groups.
