Description: |
|
This Brief uses data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS-HC) for 2014 to examine levels of out-of-pocket payments for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population with expenses for health care. Estimates are shown according to age, family income, and insurance coverage since levels of out-of-pocket expenses vary substantially according to these characteristics. |
