MONDAY, JUNE 3: HEALTH INSURANCE ESTIMATES
Profile America — Monday, June 3rd. This August, the Census Bureau will release health insurance estimates for each of the nation's 3,143 counties. Known as the Small Area Health Insurance Estimates, these are the only source of single-year estimates of health insurance coverage for every county in the nation. Recently, the Census Bureau began publishing specific estimates of the number of people ages 50-to-64 with health insurance coverage. This new inclusion allows tracking of the insurance status of this older population, which is more likely to consume health care compared with younger age groups. Knowing the number of uninsured ages 50-to-64 allows planners and health care officials to better prepare for the health care needs of the U.S. population as it ages. Profile America is in its 17th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.
Profile America is produced by the Center for New Media and Promotions of the U.S. Census Bureau. These daily features are available as produced segments, ready to air, on a monthly CD or on the Internet at http://www.census.gov (look for "Multimedia Gallery" by the "Newsroom" button).
