Notes: 

Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding effects.

For current Medicaid and Medicare enrollment figures, please refer to the Medicaid & SCHIP and "Medicare" sections, respectively, which report enrollment data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

SCHIP and individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles) are included in Medicaid.

Other Public (Federal) includes individuals covered through the military or Veterans Administration in federally-funded programs such as TRICARE (formerly CHAMPUS) as well as some non-elderly Medicare enrollees.

For more details, see "Notes to Demographic and Health Coverage Topics Based on the Current Population Survey (CPS)" at http://www.statehealthfacts.kff.org/methodology.

Definitions: 

NSD: Not Sufficient Data.

Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race; all other racial/ethnic groups are non-Hispanic. "Other" includes Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, American Indians, Aleutians, Eskimos and persons of "Two or More Races". These groups have been combined due to their small populations in many states which prevent meaningful statistical analyses of the groups individually. For health coverage data on Asian-Americans/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans, please visit the Minority Health category at http://www.statehealthfacts.org/comparecat.jsp?cat=9.
