The National Ambulatory and Medical Care Survey is a free data set from the CDC that I'd like to analyze using the "Survey" package in R. Before I dive in, though, it occurred to me that someone may already have gone to the trouble of writing code that will bring in the data and assign the variable names and value labels.
At least the 2002 and 2003 files are available as SPSS macros (not as SPSS file, as far I know). So if you know someone with SPSS, ask her to run the macros, and read in the data with R and package foreign. Dieter Menne
