aExpenses
for eyeglasses, ambulance services, orthopedic items, hearing devices,
prostheses, bathroom aids, medical equipment, disposable supplies,
alterations/modifications, and other miscellaneous items or services that
were obtained, purchased, or rented during the year are included. About
half the expenditures in this category were for vision items.
|
bPrivate insurance
includes CHAMPUS and CHAMPVA (Armed-Forces-related coverage).
|
cOther public programs
include Department of Veterans Affairs (except CHAMPVA); other Federal
sources (Indian Health Service, military treatment facilities, and other
care provided by the Federal Government); other State and local sources
(community and neighborhood clinics, State and local health departments,
and State programs other than Medicaid); and other public (Medicaid
payments reported for persons who were not enrolled in the Medicaid program
at any time during the year).
|
dOther includes
Worker's Compensation; other unclassified sources (e.g., automobile,
homeowner's, liability, and other miscellaneous or unknown sources); and
other private insurance (any type of private insurance payments reported
for persons without private health insurance coverage during the year, as
defined in MEPS).
|
eNumber of
persons and amount of expenses do not add to overall total because data on
this variable were not available for some sample persons.
|
fUninsured refers to
persons uninsured during the entire year. Public and private health
insurance categories refer to individuals with public or private insurance
at any time during the period; individuals with both public and private
insurance and those with CHAMPUS or CHAMPVA (Armed-Forces-related coverage)
are classified as having insurance.
|
gPoor refers to incomes
below the Federal poverty line; near poor, over the poverty line through
125 percent of the poverty line; low income, over 125 percent through 200
percent of the poverty line; middle income, over 200 percent to 400 percent
of the poverty line; and high income, over 400 percent of the poverty line.
|
† Standard error approximately
zero because of poststratification to Census Bureau population control
tables
|
-- Less than 100
sample cases with expenses.
|
Note: These
estimates are for a target population of approximately 271.3 million persons
who were in the civilian noninstitutionalized population for all or part of
1997. Percents may not add to 100 because of rounding.
