    Looking at those without health insurance by state (Table 8, page 25), it seems that the pinko states tend to have the lower rates. In particular, Hawaii has taken heat for requiring health insurance for employees working at least 20 hours/week. Critics suggest that as a result, employers pushed more employees into part-time positions with less than 20 hours.

    To some extent, this is true. Yet, Hawaiians are second only to Massholes for the lowest number of the uninsured. I haven’t been able to dig up the pre-Prepaid Health Care Act uninsured rates, but did find a critique from Duke.

    The obvious answer is to defund the Census Bureau so it can’t produce these damning figures.
