This report uses data from the 2008 American Community Survey to showcase significant variations in health insurance status, both within and across states by age, race/ethnicity and family income. Nationally, older children were more likely to be uninsured, white children were much more likely than non-white or Hispanic children to be insured, and children in the lowest income group were significantly more likely to be uninsured. Yet these patterns did not hold true for all states, even after controlling for employment status, industry and education level of parents.

Report for Phase VI of the SNACC Medicaid Undercount project:  Comparing MSIS and MEPS.  This phase replicates the Phase II process but uses the calendar year 2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data. The intent of Phase VI is to determine how the MEPS estimate of the number of Medicaid enrollees compare to the count from National MSIS as well as to determine factors associated with false-negative response about Medicaid in MEPS.  January 2010.

Report for Phase V of the SNACC Medicaid Undercount project: Comparing MSIS and the CPS ASEC, 2003-2004.  This phase V is a repeat of Phase II with later years of the CPS. The intent of this phase is to see if the discrepancy measured and explained in Phase II changes noticeably in the size or the relationship to explanatory factors from 2000 and 2001 to 2002 and 2003.  January 2010.
