Statistical Brief: Health Insurance Coverage: The Haves and Have-Nots
Statistical Brief: Health Insurance Coverage: The Haves and Have-Nots
Report Number SB-9-90
Most Americans have health insurance. At the end of 1988, 87 percent had health insurance, and only 13 percent did not. Data about health insurance-coverage and lapses in coverage of 1 month or more-were collected in the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation.
This brief examines health insurance coverage over time and describes the characteristics of persons who have insurance and of those who do not. Health insurance includes employer- or union-provided insurance: other privately purchased health insurance: Medicare; CHAMPUS, VA, or military health care; and Medicaid.
