| 1 Includes publicly and privately insured and uninsured adults. * Difference from previous survey statistically significant at p <.05. # Difference from people with chronic conditions statistically significant at p <.05. Notes: All differences among income groups statistically significant at p <.05. Although a chronic conditions population existed in the 1999 Household Survey, it is not comparable to the chronic-conditions population available in later rounds of the survey; therefore, 1999 results for people with chronic conditions are not reported here.
