MEPS
data have been used extensively to provide national estimates
of health care use and spending; private and public health
insurance coverage; and the availability, cost, and scope of
private health insurance benefits for the U.S. population and
for subgroups of policy interest.
MEPS
data also have formed the basis for policy-related and
behavioral research on the determinants of health care use,
spending, and insurance coverage, as well as microsimulation
models analyzing alternative health care delivery proposals.
The data have been used extensively by researchers and
policymakers in both the private and public sectors.
