The change between non-overlapping survey periods clears the combined published margin, in the wrong direction for this metric.
Cost burden rose 3.0 percentage points between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 38.2% to 41.3% - more than the combined survey margin (±2.8pp). That reverses the previous span, which went down between the 2010-2014 and 2015-2019 surveys. That is movement in the wrong direction.

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (15.0% then, 15.5% now; margin ±1.5pp).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Child uninsured changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (9.6% then, 11.7% now; margin ±2.7pp). The newest releases lean upward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
