title: SIPP and health care issues.
abstract: There are three major areas in health care policy which can be addressed by the data elements in the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP): (1) health insurance coverage and the stability of insurance over time; (2) health disability and its relationship to socioeconomic variables, including unemployment, over time; and (3) health care utilization. The survey does not, however, include information on health care expenditures or on details of visits to providers.
