Description

Covered by other health insurance (edited) - 1980-2018

Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
Variable is NOT in the 1981 file. See chhi=1 for additional coverage of children <15. 1980 and 1982-1988 includes persons who are not enrolled in other health insurance, but are covered by another household member's policy. See Appendix T.1 for Census defined conversions of new health insurance variables to old. In 2000 this variable was appended from a Census released patch file. The value reflects the results following a new verification item. See zcovhi for the original 2000 value. The 2001 values as released in the Public Use file already incorporate the results of the new verification item (ahiper). See Appendix T.6 for a discussion of these enhanced values.
