Trends in Health Insurance and Access to Care from 1997-2008


Table 5 provides annual state-specific estimates for the 20 largest states in terms of population as well as national estimates from 1997 – 2008 by insurance type and age group for persons under 65 years of age. The original table produced included data through 2007. This table was updated recently to include full year 2008 estimates. Although the relative standard errors are generally less than 30%, they are still quite large for children under 18 in some states, especially for the measures of public coverage and uninsured. Large swings in rates – especially for children with public coverage – are often statistically insignificant.

* Estimates preceded by an asterisk have a relative standard error of greater than 30% and less than or equal to 50% and should be used with caution as they do not meet the standards of reliability or precision.

† Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50% are indicated by a dagger but are not shown.

1 A person was defined as uninsured if he or she did not have any private health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), state-sponsored or other government-sponsored health plan, or military plan. A person was also defined as uninsured if he or she had only Indian Health Service coverage or had only a private plan that paid for one type of service such as accidents or dental care.

2 The category “public coverage” includes Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), state-sponsored or other government-sponsored health plan, Medicare (disability), Veterans Administration (VA) and CHAMP-VA. A small number of persons were covered by both public and private plans and were included in both categories.

3 The category “private coverage” excludes plans that paid for only one type of service such as accidents or dental care. "Private coverage" also includes persons covered thru TRICARE. A small number of persons were covered by both public and private plans and, thus, were included in both categories.

NOTES: For children in Massachusetts, the estimates on being uninsured are either shown preceded with an asterisk(*) or indicated with a dagger (†). From 1997 to 2008, most children in Massachusetts either had private or public coverage which is reflected in low rates of being uninsured.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2004, two additional questions were added to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) insurance section to reduce potential errors in reporting Medicare and Medicaid status. Persons aged 65 years and over not reporting Medicare coverage were asked explicitly about Medicare coverage, and persons aged under 65 years with no reported coverage were asked explicitly about Medicaid coverage. In 2006, NHIS underwent a sample redesign. The impact of the new sample design on estimates presented here is expected to be minimal. This table was modified from the original release of to include 2008 estimates.

DATA SOURCE: Family Core component of the 1997 - 2008 National Health Interview Surveys. Data are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population.
