Released as an ASCII file (with related SAS, SPSS, and STATA programming statements) and a SAS transport dataset, this public use file provides information collected on a nationally representative sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States for calendar year 2011. This file consists of MEPS survey data obtained in Rounds 3, 4, and 5 of Panel 15 and Rounds 1, 2, and 3 of Panel 16 (i.e., the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 2011) and consolidates all of the final 2011 person-level variables onto one file. This file contains the following variables previously released on HC-141: survey administration, language of interview variable, demographics, parent identifiers, health status, disability days variables, access to care, employment, quality of care, patient satisfaction, health insurance, and use variables. The HC-147 file also includes these variables: income variables and expenditure variables.
