  5. Distribution of Health Plan Enrollment for Covered Workers, by Plan Type, 1988-2011 1% 1% 1% 1% * Distribution is statistically different from the previous year shown (p<.05). No statistical tests were conducted for years prior to 1999. No statistical tests are conducted between 2005 and 2006 due to the addition of HDHP/SO as a new plan type in 2006. Note: Information was not obtained for POS plans in 1988. A portion of the change in plan type enrollment for 2005 is likely attributable to incorporating more recent Census Bureau estimates of the number of state and local government workers and removing federal workers from the weights.
