Timely and accurate estimates of the number of people who do not have health insurance coverage are important for understanding trends in health insurance coverage and the impacts of policy changes that affect health insurance. Estimates of the number of people who are uninsured are available from several different sources. This brief provides an annual update to comparisons of uninsurance estimates from five federal surveys.[i] It presents trends in national estimates of uninsurance, presents the most recent available state-level estimates from these surveys, and describes the main reasons for variation in the estimates across the different surveys.

Event Description
This is SHADAC's annual webinar to discuss the state health insurance coverage estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) and Current Population Survey (CPS). The estimates discussed during this event apply to calendar year 2013.
SHADAC researchers Kathleen Call, PhD, and Joanna Turner, MS, lead the webinar and address the following topics: (1) results from both the ACS and CPS; (2) methodological changes to the CPS designed to improve the measure of coverage and to measure exchange participation; and (3) working with and accessing the estimates.
Dr. Jennifer Cheeseman Day and Dr. Brett O'Hara, experts from the U.S. Census Bureau, join Kathleen and Joanna to discuss these topics and respond to questions.
