Return to Health Insurance variables list

Description

HINSVA2, an incompletely edited variable, indicates whether, at the time of interview, persons had health insurance through the United States Veterans' Administration. All those who have ever used or enrolled for VA health care are coded as "Yes" here.

User Note: HINSVA2 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 HINSVA. See the IPUMS health insurance page for a summary of health insurance variables in the ACS/PRCS.
