Lying about health care statistics is normal for Dems/Lefties/'Progressives'

It's no secret that the Obamanation and those who enable the "progressive" nonsense use exaggeration, manipulation, and outright lies when talking about statistics, particularly as they applied to cherished worldview agenda item legislation.

David Harsanyi discusses these tactics as they are applied to "the nation's large numbers of uninsured."

Noteworthy:

"In a study for the National Bureau of Economic Research called 'Is Health Insurance Affordable for the Uninsured?,' Stanford economists say, 'Based on a plausible range of definitions and assumptions health insurance is affordable for between one quarter and three quarters of adults who are not insured.'

Turns out that 8.4 million uninsured Americans are making $50,000 to $74,999, and 9.1 million more are making more than $75,000. Health insurance is just incompatible with their lifestyles, I guess.

There are obviously inconveniences -- children and mortgages, for instance -- that quickly can make $50,000 seem like a pittance. Then again, 27 percent of all adults in their 20s (many, I presume, without offspring) choose not to have health insurance. Many of them surely have the means to purchase insurance but after meticulously considering the trade-offs (imbibing or insuring?) say no thanks."
