There was an answer to a question about the missing hcovany variable in 2013, saying it would be added, and I see it was. But what about post-2013? Are the health coverage variable available when extracting data from the full sample rather than using the online analysis ACES data?
Is there an explanation of why these variables aren’t available for online analysis?
The Summary Health Insurance questions are actually not available at all in ASEC samples in years 2014-present. This is due to a re-design of the health insurance coverage questions found in the Current Population Survey. Therefore, the SHADAC-enhanced series of health insurance variables have been discontinued. As a result, IPUMS CPS does not anticipate releasing Summary Health Insurance variables for 2014-present.
