Difference in proportion without health insurance between African Americans and non-Hispanic whites
Notes
Values greater than 0 indicate greater proportion of African Americans without insurance relative to the non-Hispanic White population. Difference from loss/ gains rates are derived by taking the difference in simulated proportion uninsured controlling for differences due to gain/loss, population distribution, mortality, and initial proportions. Mortality is standardized across all groups using the 2010 US mortality tables. Values are standardized using the US population distribution in 2009.
