Title:
   The Long-Term Uninsured in America, 2005-2008: Estimates for the U.S. Civilian Noninstitutionalized Population under Age 65
Product type:
   Statistical Brief 294
MEPS component:
   Household Component
Publication date:
   September 10, 2010
Description:
   Using information from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) for 2007 and 2008, this Statistical Brief provides detailed estimates for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized non-elderly (under age 65) population that was uninsured for the entire 2005-2008 period and identifies groups most at risk of lacking any coverage during that four-year period.

Over two-thirds of those individuals in fair or poor health lacking coverage for all of 2007-2008 were also without coverage for the entire prior two-year period from 2005 to 2006. This translates to 10.5 percent of the total population under age 65 in fair or poor health being uninsured for the entire 2005-2008 four-year period.
