data provide critical input to the discussion of public policy issues,
such as access to health care and health insurance, how health care
spending is distributed according to individual and family characteristics,
the cost of health insurance for individuals and employers, and how

with use and spending for health care. You can access both MEPS data and analyses of that data online:
