Description

For sample persons aged 18 and over who needed medical care or advice in the past 12 months but did not get care, NOTCARNOINS reports if the reason the person did not get medical care was because she/he had no health insurance.

NOTCARNOINS is a variable dealing with access to care. For related variables, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.

Comparability

Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IHIS weights.
