Publication: MEPS Research Findings No. 18. AHRQ Pub. No. 02-0006. Available on the MEPS Web site
Date: 2001
Abstract: Initiatives to expand health insurance coverage have focused not only on the size of the uninsured population but also on the stability and continuity of coverage. This report from AHRQ describes the health insurance experience of the U.S. population during 1996, using data from the 1996 MEPS. It provides alternative estimates of the uninsured population and the prevalence of full-year and part-year coverage. It also examines the extent to which people insured at the beginning of a calendar year become uninsured and the likelihood that those uninsured at the beginning of the year will acquire coverage.
