title: Health insurance coverage and receipt of preventive health services--United States, 1993.
abstract: In 1992, an estimated 38.5 million U.S. residents aged < 65 years did not have health insurance (1). Efforts by states to expand health-care coverage will require surveillance for and state-specific information about coverage for acute care and the receipt of preventive services. This report summarizes state-specific and aggregated data from the 1993 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) regarding the status of health insurance coverage and the receipt of preventive health services among adults aged 18-64 years. In addition, findings from the analysis of supplemental questions added to the BRFSS in Minnesota are included that address health-care utilization, source of health-care coverage, and coverage of children.
