Comparing Eastern OR and Eastern WA to State-wide Health Insurance Status in OR and
WA
Comparing Eastern OR Eastern WA to statewide insurance status
The impact of Health Care Reform On or Near Oregon’s and Washington’s Indian Reservations1. Great variation between State-wide and Eastern areas2. Uninsured and IHS access vary widely, but Medicaid
keeps rates lower in areas with lower private insurance 3. Medicaid high (and similar to statewide) in all areas,
but may have lower take up rates given poverty rates4. IHS access higher in rural areas near reservations.5. Private insurance low in eastern parts of both states.6. Outreach and education should consider differences.

ACS question on insurance coverage
Ed Fox, Verne Boerner, Sonciray Bonnell
3-year data (2008-2010 surveys pooled data) released October 27, 2011
State, County and Metropolitan Area data for areas w/≥ 20,000 AIAN alone and in combination Health Insurance data partially available:
first time including 3-year data as question on health insurance first asked in 2008
PUMAs are areas with about 100,000 persons, raw data, at the individual level available, but number of AIANs is so small that error rates are high and should be used with understanding of their ‘wide’ confidence intervals.

Spokane Valley and rest of Spokane County That is it includes all counties East of the Cascades except
