OOPS!!

SORRY!!

The Bush Administration is currently apologizing for "mistakenly" doctoring reports regarding the heath of American citizens. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, led by Dr. Carolyn M. Clancy produced the report. BUT, it seems the Bushies wanted to clean up the reports showing drastic disparities in healthcare among minorities and white americans. Supposedly Clancy and others fought this attempt before folding for the administration. This doctored view of american health came along with a Presidential budget that cuts money targeted towards improving healthcare among these minority groups.

It appears that they got caught trying to change the science to fit the policy:

On Wednesday, more than 60 influential scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates, issued a statement criticizing what they described as the misuse of science by the administration to bolster its policies on the environment, arms control and public health.

The theme of the original report was that members of minorities "tend to be in poorer health than other Americans" and that "disparities are pervasive in our health care system," contributing to higher rates of disease and disability.

By contrast, the final report has an upbeat tone, beginning, "The overall health of Americans has improved dramatically over the last century."

I believe this is the most kravenly political White House in all US History.
