- Abstract:
- Quick Health Facts 2008: A compilation of Selected State Data presents major health system characteristics for each state and the District of Columbia. This report is adapted from the State Profiles: Reforming the Health Care System series that was published annually from 1990 to 2000 and biennially from 2001 to 2005 by the AARP Public Policy Institute. This 1st edition of Quick Health Facts presents the most up-to-date data available at the time of production. The Quick Health Facts section of this report is designed to reflect some of the current health care priorities. For example, the Demographics category presents data on the population distribution by family income, as well as the population distribution by age. The number Part D enrollees who receive the low-income subsidy and the number of Medicare beneficiaries with creditable prescription drug coverage can be found in the Medicare category. The Medicaid category includes data on Medicaid expenditures that differentiate between spending as a percentage of total state budgets and spending as a percentage of state-only budgets. Information about the average total premium for health coverage at private employers is presented in the Health Coverage category. In some cases, indicators have been broken down into age subsets to highlight the variation among different age groups. Quick Health Facts is not a continuation of the State Profiles series; therefore, comparisons should not be made with information contained in past editions of State Profiles.
