Differences in dynamics and prevalence of living without insurance between groups (age 0–65)

	Non-Hispanic White	African American	Hispanic	Asian
Probability of losing insurance within one year	0.122 (0.122, 0.123)	0.233 (0.232, 0.232)	0.301 (0.3, 0.301)	0.156 (0.155, 0.158)
Probability of gaining insurance within one year	0.610 (0.609, 0.611)	0.665 (0.663, 0.666)	0.523 (0.522, 0.524)	0.596 (0.593, 0.599)
Proportion of person-years without insurance¹	0.124	0.201	0.346	0.162
Expected years without insurance¹	7.782	12.607	21.659	10.094

Notes

Values represent uninsurance prevalence of a hypothetical cohort exposed to the age-specific rates of insurance gain and loss observed from cross sectional data. Lower and Upper bounds at the 99 percent confidence interval are presented in parentheses. Bounds for proportion of person-years without insurance and expected years without insurance are too narrow for meaningful presentation. Mortality is standardized across all groups using the 2010 US mortality tables. Values are standardized using the US population distribution in 2009.
