Indeed.

And questions are often skewed. For instance, "Have you been without health insurance in the last 18 months?" If a person answers "yes", they're counted as having no health insurance - regardless of the fact that it might have been for 6 weeks when they were between jobs.

All these supposed "facts and figures" are very skewed, very slanted, and very politically motivated.
