From the Informal Interview transcription, it was determined that several individuals had medical coverage who did not indicate so on the Impact Survey. These individuals were for the most part retired and recipients of Medicare. SSD and coverage under a spouse’s disability insurance policy were combined with Medicare and listed in the “Other” classification.

Chart 5

Percentage of Participants Receiving Health Insurance

Chart 5 presents data for medical insurance but is generally reflective of the number who receive dental, vision and prescription coverage as well. While medical coverage is the most prevalent type of coverage at 41 percent, the cluster of medical, dental, vision and prescription range from 34 percent to the high of 41 percent. The cluster of non-medical coverage (i.e. life, disability and retirement) was consistently lower ranging from 19 percent to 22 percent. Males had much higher levels of employer paid health insurance than females.
