The SAHIE program constructs statistical models that relate health insurance coverage, as measured by survey estimates from the CPS ASEC, to population estimates and administrative records.
These data include the following: tax exemptions tabulated by age and income-to-poverty ratios, and a tax-to-income distribution and its variance (from the Internal Revenue Service 1040 Individual Master File aggregated before the data are released to SAHIE); the number of food stamp enrollees (from the Food and Nutrition Service); the number of Medicaid enrollees by age and sex (from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Medicaid Statistical Information System); and the number of SCHIP enrollees (from the SCHIP Annual Reports).
