From National Journal: Thursday morning’s New York Times starts with a blockbuster story on Obamacare:
“A sweeping national effort to extend health coverage to millions of Americans will leave out two-thirds of the poor blacks and single mothers and more than half of the low-wage workers who do not have insurance, they very kinds of people that the program was intended to help, according to an analysis of census data by The New York Times.”
It’s a major revelation for the nation’s hotly contested policy, but it wouldn’t have come to light without publicly available census data. But right now, because of the government shutdown, that’s data that you can’t find online.
