WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 — The Bush administration says it improperly
altered a report documenting large racial and ethnic disparities in health care, but it
will soon publish the full, unexpurgated document.

"There was a mistake made," Tommy G. Thompson, the secretary of health and
human services, told Congress last week. "It's going to be rectified."

Mr. Thompson said that "some individuals took it upon themselves" to make the
report sound more positive than was justified by the data.

The reversal comes in response to concerns of Democrats and the Senate majority
leader, Bill Frist, Republican of Tennessee. They are pushing separate bills to improve
care for members of minorities.

4. It's the Lying, Stupid!

So many lies and so little time. Thank you, Congressman Henry Waxman, for persistently documenting all the lies of this maladministration.

"No data or statistics in the report were altered in any way whatsoever," Dr. Clancy said. But a close reading of the evolving report shows that some entries in statistical tables were deleted from the final version.

And here's another part of BFEE budget that has not gotten much press -

President Bush's budget would cut spending for the training of health professionals and would eliminate a $34 million program that recruits blacks and Hispanics for careers as doctors, nurses and pharmacists.

With the nursing shortage at an advanced critical state, they are cutting the budget for training. No words can express how I loathe these cretins :nuke:

5. Yet another whopper!

These people are simply the worst! They lie and sneak on a daily basis. They are completely untrustworthy. Anyone who votes for Bush is a complete fool. The Republican party has become the SS party: shysters and suckers.

:mad:

Bwahahahahah! Their credibility is sinking like the Titanic.
