Dec 24, 2014 at 7:00 comment added j_bro_rx I'm also interested in a "ever uninsured" variable which is if someone had any period of time over two years that they were uninsured. Many of those that are categorized as having a certain insurance type in the above mentioned variable do hit on this "ever uninsured" variable but, of course, the majority are those that are uninsured during the whole time period. I am now wondering if there is going to be an issue including both insurance categories and this "ever uninsured" variable.

Dec 24, 2014 at 6:56 comment added j_bro_rx I believe I'm going forward with just making a new variable for these folks. Thanks for the input.
