I've taken it more than once including the "sub-surveys", for lack of a better term. Currently, I'm a representative household for the health care-specific survey. If you think the general ACS questions are intrusive wait until you see the health care one.
So, do you need government intrusiveness explained to you?
Not at all. I think it is intrusive. But I do think some of it serves a legitimate government purpose. I'd be happy to take these surveys - anonymously.
. .. But I do think some of it serves a legitimate government purpose
Considering the first statement, the second legitimate purpose may well be defined as "a way to push through national health care legislation". I can hear it now on he news
"Juanita, after leaving her rented, uninsured, shack, spends four hours on public transit to get to her low-paying, temporary job where she does not have health insurance for her fourteen children...
Then the other part of the survey is added..But John, who lives in a fashionable mansion gets to drive his Mercedes one block (wasting gasoline and polluting the air), to his executive high paying position, can well afford health care for his 2.5 children and his diamond-laden wife...
Juanita just got richer. All due to a survey.
Can you please point out to me where in the US Constitution the words "health care" are found?
Maybe I've got an old copy but they're nowhere to be found in mine.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
