Description:
   This Statistical Brief describes medical expenditures of the non-elderly (under age 65) by age group and insurance status in 2004. People with private health insurance for all or part of the year were responsible for 79 percent of all medical expenditures even though they represented 71.2 percent of the non-elderly population. In contrast, people who were uninsured for the entire year (i.e., full-year uninsured) accounted for 4.8 percent of all medical expenditures while representing 14.1 percent of the non-elderly population.
