Description
For sample adults and sample children who said they do not have problems paying their medical bills (responses of "yes," "refused, or "don't know" on HIPROBPAYR), HIUNABLEPAY reports whether the person or anyone in their family has medical bills that they are unable to pay at all. Prior to 2019, all persons with a response of "yes," "refused," "not ascertained," or "don't know" on HIPROBPAYR were included in the universe for HIUNABLEPAY.
Comparability
The NHIS questionnaire was substantially redesigned in 2019 to introduce a different data collection structure and new content. For more information on changes in terminology, universes, and data collection methods beginning in 2019, please see the user note.
