On Monday, August 18 at 10 a.m. EDT, please tune in to the Census Bureau’s Ustream channel to learn more about how we collect information on health insurance coverage. I will be participating in an event hosted by the Census Bureau and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) on federal statistics on health insurance, and I encourage you to watch it live.

My Census Bureau colleagues Jennifer Cheeseman Day and Victoria Velkoff will speak about methodological changes to the 2014 Current Population Survey and the statistics from that survey which will be released publicly in September. They will be joined by NCHS Director Charles Rothwell and two experts from NCHS, Jennifer Madans and Stephen Blumberg. In addition, Gary Claxton of the Kaiser Family Foundation and Michael O’Grady of O’Grady Health Policy, LLC, will discuss how these changes will improve health insurance coverage statistics.
