Health insurance status of Hispanic subpopulations in 2004 [electronic resource] : estimates for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population under age 65 / Jeffrey A. Rhoades and Jessica P. Vistnes.
Using data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC), this Statistical Brief presents health insurance estimates for the Hispanic population by subgroups and U.S. citizenship status. An examination of these estimates reveals dramatic disparities in insurance coverage within the Hispanic population due to differences in eligibility for public programs and access to private coverage.
