We use data from the SHADAC-Enhanced Current Population Survey (CPS) for calendar years 1999, 2000, 2007 and 2008 to measure the coverage type of individuals. Data are averaged across two years 1999-2000 and 2007-2008 to ensure more stable estimates. Data on employers-sponsored health insurance premiums and offer rates, over the years 1999-2001 and 2008 come from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Insurance Component (MEPS-IC). These data, collected and distributed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), provide national- and state-level detail not available from other data sources.
