Child and parent full-year health insurance coverage status, by income level, 1998–2008. Source medical expenditures panel survey-household component (MEPS-HC), 1998–2008. FPL federal poverty level. Full-year insurance status: MEPS-HC assesses insurance coverage status monthly, so we utilized each person’s monthly coverage status to create full-year insurance variables. To be considered insured for the full-year, the child and/or parent(s) had to report having at least 1 day of health insurance coverage in each of 12 months of the calendar year. **For ‘parent’ insurance status, we considered parent(s) insured if at least one parent was insured for the full-year. Parent(s) were uninsured if the sole parent (in single parent households) or both parents were uninsured for some or all of the year. #Child insured/parent not insured group estimates unreliable in high-income families due to small number (N <30).
