We Will Never Know the True Numbers

Well, they've changed the questions on the census to distort comparisons of who is newly insured. We will never know, only the polls will tell the truth of how many were positively/negatively impacted by ACA

Every single article on the topic says that the new questions produce uninsured rates that are 2% lower. When they all agree on something, it's probably accurate. Not the first time this happened, similar change resulted in a 1-2% drop in the 2000 census.

It's ridiculous they change the only real measure of the uninsured rate at the same time they overhaul the health system, and happen to make the change in such a way the rate drops by 2% off the bat.

I guarantee they'll quote the new rate vs. the old rate like it's apples-to-apples.
