DESCRIPTION:  	THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS HOW TO COMPUTE FAMILY-LEVEL 
               ESTIMATES, USING THE MEPS DEFINITION OF FAMILY
               RATHER THAN THE CPS DEFINITION.
               
               SEE SECTION 3.3 OF THE DOCUMENTATION FOR HC-060
               (THE 2001 MEPS FILL-YEAR FILE).
               
               THIS PROGRAM GENERATES THE FOLLOWING FAMILY-LEVEL
               ESTIMATES:
               (1) MEAN NUMBER OF PERSONS PER FAMILY.
               (2) 2001 MEAN TOTAL HEALTHCARE EXPENSES PER
                   FAMILY.
               (3) 2001 MEAN TOTAL HEALTHCARE EXPENSES PER
                   FAMILY SIZE.

INPUT FILE:  	(1) C:\MEPS\DATA\H60.SAS7BDAT
