Notes: Insurance estimates are based on pooled March CPS 1996−2004 data for California, Florida, and New York. Entries in top row columns 1,3,5,7 are fractions of 60−64 year olds with insurance coverage. Entries in top row columns 2, 4, 6, 8 represent regression discontinuity estimates (×100) of the increase in coverage at age 65 from a model with a quadratic in age, fully interacted with a post-65 dummy. Entries in lower rows columns 1,3,5,7 are hospital admission rates (per 10,000 person years for 60 to 64 year olds) for California, Florida, and New York 1992−2002. Entries in lower rows columns 2, 4, 6, 8 are regression discontinuity estimates (×100) of the increase in the log of the number of admissions at age 65, from models with a quadratic in age, fully interacted with a post-65 dummy. Standard errors are in parenthesis.
