Note: Because data were not collected in 2007, estimates for that year are averages of 2006 and 2008 premiums. Premiums are inflated to 2014 dollars with the use of the all-items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Differences between local and private premiums and between state government and large-firm private premiums are significant at p < 0.05.
