Notes: Out-of-pocket costs reported here do not include health insurance premiums paid by insured people, and thus do not capture the full extent of health-care-related expenses paid by this group. Differences between privately insured and uninsured are statistically significantly in all cases at p <.05.

* Change from 2001 to 2003 statistically significant at p <.05.
