Notes: Definitions and descriptions of the methods used for this survey can be found in the Technical Appendix. Totals may not sum exactly because of rounding.

* Prior to 2010, non-single coverage was labeled as family coverage. This was a labeling change only and the estimates, which include both employee-plus-one and family coverage, are comparable across years.

** Definitions of industry groupings changed in 2000. These data are not comparable to MEPS-IC estimates made prior to 2000.
