Yes it does. It's a corrupt sample given the agenda. It becomes easily skewed to fit a given agenda. You can not trust it...look at this example:
Column Tell me again how Obamacare is a 'disaster'
"The overall uninsured rate has been cut by nearly half, from 20.3% in 2012 to 11.5% now. The trend includes every ethnic group and both genders; for whites and non-Hispanic blacks, the reduction in the uninsured rate exceeds 50%, and for Hispanics the rate has come down from 41.8% to 30.5%."

Declines in uninsured rates cover every major ethnic group, according to these government figures. (Department of Health and Human Services)
The author has an opinion...so we know it is biased towards an outcome. Fine, it's known from the get go...it is what it is. But look at the source... Department of Health and Human Services ...right here:
http://www.hhs.gov/healthcare/facts-and-featu...index.html
Now look at these figures from the Centers for Disease Control:
Figure 1.1. Percentage of persons of all ages without health insurance coverage at the time of interview: United States, 1997
–2014

?????? the only given is that more individuals are insured but no where close to what is portrayed by the Government. review here:

So we know how they get their sample....and we find out something else.... Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) analysis of Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey data
The source from the CDC sample is ... http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/
The source for the Government sample is http://www.gallup.com/poll/106756/galluphealt...index.aspx
the difference...a big one...
The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) has monitored the health of the nation since 1957. NHIS data on a broad range of health topics are collected through personal household interviews. For over 50 years, the U.S. Census Bureau has been the data collection agent for the National Health Interview Survey. Survey results have been instrumental in providing data to track health status, health care access, and progress toward achieving national health
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, a unique partnership in research and care, began in January 2008, and surveys 1,000 Americans every day. The research and methodology underlying the Well-Being Index is based on the World Health Organization definition of health as "not only the absence of infirmity and disease, but also a state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing." ..... the index was created in 2012
