^a Estimates are age adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. Age data are unadjusted.

^b Estimates for race and ethnicity categories were tabulated using the 1997 standards for data year 1999 and beyond, and are not strictly comparable with estimates for earlier years.

^c A small number of people who were covered by both public and private health insurance plans were included in the "private" category only.

^d Negative/poor refers to household incomes below the Federal poverty line; near poor/low, the poverty line to just below 200 percent of the poverty line; middle, 200 percent to just below 400 percent of the poverty line; and high, 400 percent of the poverty line and over. Missing values for family income were imputed using multiple imputation methodology. A small number of people were excluded because their family income could not be imputed.
