As you know from all of the interviews that we have conducted, the
Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey has been collecting data from
over 100,000 beneficiaries since 1991. Data from the study have
been extremely useful to many researchers who are looking at the
availability and the cost of medical care for people such as
[you/(SP)].
At this time, the survey is going to start interviewing some new
beneficiaries and we will stop interviewing some of the people who
have been with the survey for quite some time. [You are/(SP) is] one
of the people that we will no longer interview.

As the brochure explains, your responses to these
questions can help us determine the impact of income on
[your/his/her] use and access to health care. I will be
asking a series of questions about [your/(SP’s)/you and
your (wife’s/husband’s)/(SP) and (his/her)
(wife’s/husband’s)] income and other financial resources.
First, I will ask whether [you/(SP)/you and your
(wife/husband)/(SP) and (his/her) (wife/husband)] had
particular types of income or other resources. All these
questions can be answered with a "yes" or a "no." Then, I
will ask you to estimate [your/(SP's)/their] total income.

The marketplace [, known as (STATE MARKETPLACE NAME),]
allows residents to compare and purchase available health
