NCHSR (National Center for Health Services Research) National Health Care Expenditures Study. Private Health Insurance: Premium Expenditures and Sources of Payment -- Data Preview 17

摘要

Examining how Americans use health care services and determining national patterns of health expenditures and insurance coverage are the goals of a landmark study by the National Center for Health Services Research (NCHSR). This report from the National Health Care Expenditures Study is the first in a series presenting national estimates from the Health Insurance/Employer Survey (HIES) component of the National Medical Care Expenditure Survey (NMCES). It provides an overview of the number of people in the U.S. population holding private health insurance, and examines the financing of this type of insurance by employers, employees, and their families. The estimates are based on data provided by the employers and insurance carriers of members of the NMCES household sample, in conjunction with information on sociodemographic characteristics of the members of this sample.
