Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
I am always fond of reading your informative and provocative editorials. I must assume from the June 5 editorial on health coverage (“Finding balance on patients’ rights”) that the dogma of accuracy in reporting does not apply to your editorial board. You cite, as many others do, there are 44.3 million people without health insurance.Why not 44.4 or 44.2 million? How do we arrive at this number? Do we take the total population (an exact number) and subtract the number (equally exact) who admit to having health insurance?
This is another “Washington” number, and I would think the Tribune would at least add the word “estimated”–or better yet, “guestimated”–before the number of uninsured.
