- Abstract:
- In 2012, SHADAC developed a Health Insurance Unit (HIU) to aid in analyzing health insurance coverage among members of a household who would be considered a "family," for the purposes of health insurance eligibility, in federal population surveys. SHADAC periodically revises the HIU in order to reflect relevant policy changes and to make improvements to the data parameters used to create the HIU. This issue brief describes an update that was developed this year (2020) to account for recent changes in public policy and improvements to HIU data inputs made available by the Minnesota Population Center (discussed below). The resulting 2020 revised HIU will be used to produce SHADAC's annual health insurance estimates using the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) slated for release in the fall of 2020. Specifically, this brief discusses the reasons for changes to the HIU and the effect they will have on health insurance estimates.
