Notes: 

For all topics based on the CPS on statehealthfacts.org, the grouping used for analysis is the health insurance unit (HIU), which groups individuals according to their insurance eligibility, rather than by relatedness or household.
For more details, see "Notes to Topics Based on the Current Population Survey (CPS)" at http://www.statehealthfacts.kff.org/methodology.

Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding effects.

For current Medicaid and Medicare enrollment figures, please refer to the Medicaid & SCHIP and "Medicare" sections, respectively, which report enrollment data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

SCHIP and individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles) are included in Medicaid.

Other Public (Federal) includes individuals covered through the military or Veterans Administration in federally-funded programs such as TRICARE (formerly CHAMPUS) as well as some non-elderly Medicare enrollees.

Definitions: NSD: Not Sufficient Data

Persons in poverty are defined here as those living in "health insurance units" with incomes less than 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau's poverty thresholds. Health insurance units are related individuals who would be eligible as a group for "family" coverage in a health plan. The federal poverty threshold for a family of four in the 48 contiguous states and D.C. was $21,027 in 2007 and $21,834 in 2008. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) produces simplified - but very similar - versions of federal poverty thresholds called "poverty guidelines" for use in determining financial eligibility for many government programs. For more information on measures of poverty, please see the detailed description provided by HHS available at http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/faq.shtml.
