HCOVPRIV2
Private health insurance coverage (original)
Return to Health Insurance variables list

Description

HCOVPRIV2, an incompletely edited variable, indicates whether persons had private health insurance coverage at the time of interview. The Census Bureau classifies employer- or union-provided insurance (HINSEMP2), plans purchased by individuals from private insurance companies (HINSPUR2), and TRICARE or other military health care (HINSTRI2) as private coverage.

User Note: HCOVPRIV2 is not fully edited. It is provided so that users can replicate analyses that use original ACS data. For a fully edited and fully harmonized analogue that can be used to analyze change over time, see HCOVPRIV. See the IPUMS health insurance page for a summary of health insurance variables in the ACS/PRCS.
