A reminder - you can get me in audio form too!  Catch the recent episode of Stacking Benjamins, where I talk about Dollar Cost Averaging.

So, we're pretty annoyed about this whole Census Bureau changing their health insurance questions thing.

You know, especially considering that the Census Bureau's director started reporting to the White House for the first time in 2009.  You know, because the major ACA provisions go into effect this year, and 2013 isn't a good baseline since some minor provisions (say, 26 year olds on parental plans 2011) already went into effect.  You know, because even if Census workers saw problems with the old question wordings, those questions inspired the messaging for selling the original ACA.

It's an easy fix, though - just ask both sets of questions for a couple years.

I agree with Megan McArdle - the timing is, at best, highly unfortunate.
