White House Controls Census Questions : US Census Now Corrupted, Worthless

To believe that having the White House taking over the questions that will appear on Census questionnaires will not be biased as to how ObamaCare will impact health care and the economy is liking asking us in the words of that great states person, Hillary Clinton, " to believe what you are saying I must willingly suspend disbelief".

And if that's not enough, the last poll taken asking the questions on how the population understands the ethics of Mr Obama and his administration as to whether they are telling the truth or lying. more then 60% said Mr Obama and his administration lies all the time.

Over all, 81% said that they lie all the time, most of the time or some of the time. What good reasons to vote for more democrats.

Changes to U.S. Census Questions Could Cloud ObamaCare Impact

The U.S. Census Bureau is altering the questions it asks about health insurance so fundamentally that it will be hard to weigh the impact of President Obama's health care law against previous year's findings, says the Washington Examiner.
  • A test run with the new questionnaire produced lower estimates of the uninsured than in previous years, which could result in overestimates of the Affordable Care Act's impact on increasing the numbers of those with insurance nationwide.
  • As first reported by The New York Times, the Department of Health and Human Services and the White House Council of Economic Advisers requested many of the new questions, and the White House Office of Management and Budget approved the new questionnaire.
  • The Obama administration has reported that 7.5 million people signed up for insurance on state and federal exchanges by the March 31 deadline and that enrollment in Medicaid has increased by 3 million since October.
  • Officials so far say they don't have estimates of the number of enrollees who actually paid their first month's premium or how many young healthy people have signed up for the plan, a key measure of the new law's success.
Concrete information has been scarce about those who are signing up for the law and how it is affecting the level of uninsured across the country.

Republicans are crying foul on the new questions, but Census Bureau Director John H. Thompson defended the timing of the new questions, saying they are based on 14 years of research and two national tests conducted in 2010 and 2013.
