This working paper compares medical out-of-pocket expenses (MOOP) in the 2013 and 2014 CPS ASEC. The comparison attempts to capture changes due, in part, to the redesign of the survey instrument. In addition, this paper examines changes within years due to an update of the variable edit specifications used for imputation of missing responses. This update incorporated additional variables about health insurance premiums paid by type of health insurance into the edit process. There are statistically significant differences in the distribution of MOOP when comparing across years and within years when comparing the distribution edited using the updated specifications.
