The same pattern by income was found among women, ranging from 55.0% for those with family incomes <100% of FPL to 68.1% for those with family incomes 100% to <200%, and 75.8% for those with family incomes \u2265200% of FPL.<\/p>\n

Among men, the percentage was similar for those with family incomes <100% of FPL (58.7%) and family incomes 100% to <200% of FPL (57.2%), but increased to 74.0% for those with family incomes \u2265200% of FPL.<\/p>\n
