Over at The New Republic, Anthony Wright strikes back against those of us (like me) who've cautioned against blindly accepting the 47-million-uninsured figure regularly tossed around by reform advocates. But in the course of doing so, it seems to me he very nearly makes the skeptic's case he's warning against.

He uses information from the census and Peter Orszag, an administration official, to deflate the "46 million uninsured" figure. Yet somehow, he must be a racist. :p
