PLEASE LISTEN TO ME

1) Go to the latest report in the link YOU provided
2) See tables on pages 15-18
3) Read: count of Children under age 19 in each year
4) understand that when they wrote this year’s report, they counted all the kids under19 in each of the past years, the methods used in the past are NOT RELEVANT because they took a fresh count of the number of kids in every year for THIS report

I really don’t know how many other ways I can explain it. Can someone help me out here?

They did not collect data on 18-19 year old adults prior to 2017. Look at the index and there's a disclaimer that says so.

They added that cohort to the 2017 report when in the prior methodology they were removed after they were no longer children.

Now they're cooking the books just like the gun control fanatics do when they call 18-26 year old adults 'children' so they can get people like you all upset with how many 'children' are getting killed by gang shootings.

And now they're using that tactic with health insurance and predictably you're falling for it and defending it simply as a knee jerk partisan reaction.

Blather all you want but the fact is that the 2017 report gathers a broader sample than the 2016 report did and the statistical increase of 425,000 uninsured is easily attributed to the corresponding sample increase.

You’re not understanding. Re-read my post above @prior to 2017” is irrelevant. Past reports are irrelevant. . In THIS YEARS report they re-counted everyone from past years and they counted them under age 18 in each of those years.

How are you not fucking understanding this?
