Definitions

The term non-Hispanic refers to persons who trace their origins or descent to a place other than Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spanish speaking Central and South America countries, and other Spanish cultures. People who identify their ethnicity as non-Hispanic may be of any race.

This race category refers to individuals who report being only white, when asked to select all that apply from the race categories of white, black or African American, American Indian and Alaska native, Asian, or Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander.

The Medicare question on the ASEC supplement attempted to identify all persons 15 years old and over who were 'covered' by Medicare at any time during the previous calendar year. The term covered means enrolled in the Medicare Program. In order to be counted, the person did not necessarily have to receive medical care paid for by Medicare.
