HHS: Trump health office lies to millions with fake reports and data

pathological liar

This following article is about how the  Trump administration used a government agency, HHS,  responsible for the health of Americans to falsify reports that undermine American’s health.   His administration falsified reports on Obamacare in attempts to get it repealed.

Trump administration quashed a report that showed benefit to Americans when refugees pay taxes.

His administration began to lay the foundation to roll back abortion by redefining life as beginning at conception.

Are Americans aware HHS morphed into a propaganda arm of the Trump administration, pushing false information about Obamacare to help Trump strip health care from millions of Americans?

Trump administration officials running a key office within the health department have been caught manipulating studies and reports in an effort to undermine Obamacare, support the administration’s anti-refugee stance, and push an anti-abortion agenda.

According to a new Politico report, staff say “the political pressures to tailor facts to fit Trump’s message have been unprecedented.”

An office that is key to evaluating and implementing U.S. health care policy has repeatedly been pushing out bad information to aid Trump’s attack on Obamacare.

“The office of the assistant secretary for planning and evaluation (ASPE) within the Health and Human Services (HHS) department traditionally works to track the effects of health care programs and to help inform the public on health care issues.

But under Trump administration, the office has repeatedly been caught publishing false data.

In one instance, Trump’s ASPE generated a report alleging that a majority of states saw premiums and costs double under Obamacare in 2017. Politifact rated the claim “false” after a Republican senator cited it in a Facebook post. The fact-checkers took note of serious methodological errors in the analysis and called it “flawed.””

According to Politico, the Trump administration altered a report by McKinsey & Co.  They inserted their labels on the Mckinsey data to help Republicans deceive Congress and Americans to defund Obamacare.

Is this an administration we can trust? One that lies to Americans repeatedly multiple times throughout the day. Does the Trump administration care about America’s health? If Trump did, why not work on improving Obamacare instead of pursuing a vendetta to repeal it with nothing to offer in its place.

In addition, Health and Human Services, one of the largest and most funded agencies, should not be a propaganda arm for Trump administration to publish false information dangerous to American’s health.
