Data Brief: Sources of Coverage for Uninsured Children Before and After Periods of No Insurance
Authors: Jean Hearne
January 1999
Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (1992 Panel), Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. (MPR) estimated the number and percentage of uninsured children by length of uninsured spells, income and sources of coverage before and after uninsured spells. The purpose of these estimates was to provide state policy makers with information to help in developing policies to best reach the target population and to understand the effect of various "firewall" eligibility policies.
This report was prepared with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
