2022 SIPP: 2008-Comparable Health Insurance Recodes

The 2008-comparable Health Insurance recodes are not being released on the 2022 SIPP public-use file. The variables not released include: RCDMTH, RHIMTH, RHIOWNER, RNONHH, RHISPSE, RHIYNGKD, RHIOLDKD, RHIOTHR and RHIOTHER. These variables were created to bridge the differences between the 2008 Panel and the 2014 SIPP redesign.

These 2008-comparable recodes are logically inconsistent with other Health Insurance recode variables, and may create confusion as a result. Additionally, all the information contained within the 2008-comparable recodes can be derived from the other survey variables available on the public use file.
