Description

HINSIHS2, an incompletely edited variable, indicates whether, at the time of interview, persons had health insurance through the Indian Health Service. According to the Census Bureau, though, IHS policies are not always comprehensive.

User Note: HINSIHS2 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 HINSIHS. See the IPUMS health insurance page for a summary of health insurance variables in the ACS/PRCS.
