Note: Expenditures on health care, for
purposes of this report, include out-of-pocket spending on health
insurance, medical services and supplies, and prescription drugs.
Quintiles are used to define the five levels of income. In this analysis,
the term “household” is used in place of “consumer unit.” A
consumer unit is used to describe members of a household related by blood,
marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangement; single persons who are
living alone or sharing a household with others but who are financially
independent; or two or more persons living together who share
responsibility for at least two of three major types of expenses—food,
housing, and other expenses. The income distribution was determined for
the subset of all consumer units where the reference person was age 65 or
older.
Reference population: These data refer to the resident
noninstitutional population.

Note: Data for 1998 should be considered preliminary. Some data for
1991 are not available (—). For hospitalizations, home health visits,
and skilled nursing facility admissions, utilization rates for 1994–1998
exclude HMO enrollees from the numerator and denominator because
utilization data are not available for this group. Prior to 1994, HMO
enrollees were included in the denominators causing utilization rates to
be understated. Prior to 1994, HMO enrollees represented 7 percent or less
of the Medicare population; in 1998 they represented about 18
percent. For physician visits, data on HMO enrollees are excluded
for all years.
