NA Not available.  Respondents were not asked detailed health insurance questions       
about direct-purchase coverage before the March 1995 Current Population Survey (CPS).   
                                                                                        
1/ Includes CHAMPUS (Comprehensive Health and Medical Plan for Uniformed                
Services)/Tricare, Veterans, and military health care.                                  
                                                                                        
2/ Implementation of a new March Current Population Survey (CPS) processing system.     
                                                                                        
3/ Implementation of Census 1990 based population controls.                             
                                                                                        
4/ Data collection method changed from paper and pencil to computer-assisted            
interviewing.                                                                           
                                                                                        
5/ Health insurance questions were redesigned.  Increases in estimates of               
employment-based and military health care coverage may be partially due                 
to questionnaire changes.  Overall coverage estimates were not affected.                
                                                                                        
6/ Beginning with the March 1998 CPS, people with no coverage other than                
access to Indian Health Service are no longer considered covered by health              
insurance; instead, they are considered to be uninsured.  The effect of                 
this change on the overall estimates of health insurance coverage is                    
negligible; however, the decrease in the number of people covered by                    
Medicaid may be partically due to this change.                                          
                                                                                        
7/ Estimates reflect the results of follow-up verification questions.                   
                                                                                        
8/ Implementation of Census 2000 based population controls.                             
                                                                                        
9/ Based on a November 2001 weighting correction and 1990 census population controls.   
                                                                                        
10/ Sample expanded by 28,000 households.                                               
                                                                                        
11/The 2003 CPS asked respondents to choose one or more races.  White alone refers      
to people who reported White and did not report any other race category.  The use of    
this single-race population does not imply that it is the preferred method of presenting
or analyzing data. The Census Bureau uses a variety of approaches.  Information on      
people who reported more than one race, such as “White and American Indian and          
Alaska Native” or “Asian and Black or African American,” is available from Census       
2000 through American FactFinder.  About 2.6 percent of people reported more than       
one race in 2000.                                                                       
                                                                                        
12/The 2001 CPS and earlier years asked respondents to report only one race.            
The reference groups for these years are: White, White not Hispanic, Black, and         
Asian and Pacific Islander.                                                             
                                                                                        
13/Black alone refers to people who reported Black or African American and did not      
report any other race category.                                                         
                                                                                        
14/Asian alone refers to people who reported Asian and did not report any other race    
category.
