Missing responses to the question subparts a to g were assigned a “yes” or “no” response through editing and hot-deck imputation. During the editing process, write-in answers describing or naming the type of “other” health insurance or health coverage plan in subpart h were classified into one of the first seven categories. Hence, only the first seven types of health coverage are part of the microdata file; subpart h and the write-in are not included.

Using the complete edited data, people were considered insured if they had a “yes” in at least one of the coverage types: employer- or union-based plan; a private plan purchased directly; military health care; Medicare, Medicaid, or other public programs; or veterans (VA) health care. People who had no reported health coverage or whose only health coverage was Indian Health Service are considered uninsured. Indian Health Service alone is not considered comprehensive coverage (State Health Access Data Assistance Center, 2005). The types of health insurance are not mutually exclusive; people may be covered by more than one type at the same time.
