This analysis compares the March 1994 and March 1995 Current Population Survey (CPS) counts of the numbers of people with different types of health insurance and without any health insurance coverage. The findings contain some surprises: there were no changes in the numbers of nonelderly people with Medicaid coverage and without any health insurance, and there were increases in the numbers of nonelderly people with employer-sponsored health insurance and with CHAMPUS/VA/military health care. Four changes were introduced in the CPS in 1995 and were likely, by themselves, to both raise and lower the estimates of the numbers of people with specific types of health insurance coverage. Three of the changes relate to questions about health insurance coverage; they coincide with the traditional mid-decade shift in the sample framework for the CPS.
本分析比较了1994年3月和1995年3月当前人口调查（CPS）中不同类型医疗保险覆盖人群和无任何医疗保险覆盖人群的数量。研究结果有些出人意料：有医疗补助覆盖的非老年人数量和无任何医疗保险的非老年人数量没有变化，有雇主提供医疗保险的非老年人数量以及有CHAMPUS/退伍军人管理局/军事医疗保健的非老年人数量有所增加。1995年CPS引入了四项变动，这些变动本身可能会同时提高和降低特定类型医疗保险覆盖人群数量的估计值。其中三项变动与医疗保险覆盖问题有关；它们与CPS样本框架在十年中期的传统变动相吻合。
