Description:
The 1996 through 2008 projected health care expenditures from the MEPS Household Component, previously posted on this Web site, are out-of-date and have been removed from the site. Research efforts are underway to produce new health care expenditure projections through 2016 based on data from the 2002 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey aligned with the 2002 National Health Expenditure Accounts (from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). Interim results are currently available and can be obtained upon a request to the
MEPS Project Director.
Projected expenditure data files and tabular results, based on the final population projections from the Census Bureau (expected in 2008), will be posted on the MEPS Web site later in 2008.
