Remember back in 2009 when the White House moved control of the census to the White House and Republicans objected to politicizing the census this way and Democrats called Republicans stupid and racist for disagreeing with our first black president? Well, it turns out Republicans were right:
MEDIAITE – According to a report in The New York Times, the Census Bureau has been directed to change the wording of its questions relating to health care coverage so that they can no longer be checked against the past three decades of data. According to the nonpartisan analysts and census officials The Times spoke with, this change will make it nearly impossible to accurately assess the effects of the Affordable Care Act has had on the number of Americans who have health insurance.
The changes will, however, likely have the effect of showing a reduction in the number of uninsured. This will not be the result of the effects of the law. Rather, according to the Census Bureau’s chief of the health statistics branch, the drop in uninsured is only going to be due to “the questions and how they are asked.”
You mean Republicans were right that the White House was going to politicize it? Yep, just like this White House politicizes everything in order to try and win elections. Heck, if they’ll politicize contraception, they’ll politicize anything, including the Census. Because that’s just what lying Democrats do when they are faced with losing big time over their horrible policies.
