  1. Dependent variable: “the occurrence of recommended healthcare forgone due to the deductible”, i.e., forgone either prescribed medications, ordered diagnostic tests or specialist care due to the deductible. A = centered at the total sample’s mean age: 62.2 years (standard deviation: 11.1). B = centered at the total sample’s mean score: 22.3 (standard deviation: 5.8). C = reflects bootstrapped confidence intervals
  2. OR Odds ratio. R2mf = McFadden’s pseudo R2. 95%CI = 95% Confidence Intervals (lower bound – upper bound)
