NOTES: Effects are reported as follows: (1) the unadjusted uninsured rate, expressed in terms of the difference compared with the uninsured rate for the reference group; (2) the predicted uninsured rate, expressed in terms of the difference with the uninsured rate for the reference group, as adjusted for the covariates Model for state includes the following covariates: primary wage earner's education level, primary wage earner's work status, primary wage earner's occupation, whether primary wage earner has full-time or part-time job, size of firm employing primary wage earner (indicator), family income, age, gender, nativity, race and ethnicity, family type, state (indicator), whether urban or rural, health status. a p <0.01 b p <0.05 c p <0.10 SOURCE: EBRI derived variable file, based on March 2000 Current Population Survey.
