The goal of meps.panel is to wrap the two-year panel files from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (meps) Household Component (HC) in an R data package. All variable labels and value labels are included.
For more information about the consolidated MEPS-HC panel files, see the AHRQ webpages, or the example code from the HHS-AHRQ/MEPS repo by @e-mitchell.
For another attempt of downloading the MEPS data, see the ajdamico/asdfree repo by @ajdamico.
Currently the package includes data from panel 16 (2011-2012), panel 17 (year 2012-2013), and panel 18 (year 2013-2014). The rest of the panel files will be packaged soon.
