New Data on Kaiserhealthfacts

from Kaiserhealthfacts.org: 


Statehealthfacts.org Updates Data on Demographics, Health Insurance Coverage, Household Income, Nursing Homes, and More
Statehealthfacts.org has updated all demographic and health coverage topics based on the the Foundation's Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured (KCMU) and Urban Institute's analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's March 2008 Current Population Survey (CPS). Demographic characteristics for the total population and people living in poverty for 2006-2007 based on the CPS are now available, together with 2006-2007 health coverage data presented by age, income, sex, race, and other demographic measures for all states and the nation. Also available are  trends in coverage for the nonelderly population, adults, and children from 2004-2007 by state and for the nation.  The latest data on state and national median annual household income from the CPS  are also now available for 2005-2007. Updated Bureau of Labor Statistics information on health care employment and workers represented by unions has been added for 2007 for all states and the nation. Other updates include 2007 state-by-state data from the Social Security Administration on SSDI beneficiaries and new 2007 data from the University of California at San Francisco on nursing homes for all states and the nation.  KCMU's Medicaid and Children's Health interactive fact sheets have also been updated to reflect the latest demographic and health coverage data from the CPS.
