2. Some questions an historian might ask about this data:
How might this data compare to similar data from past presidential terms (i.e., H.W. Bush, Clinton, Bush II, Obama)?
Are previous data sets, of similar content, organized into different categories than this one? Why?
Can this data be broken down geographically to show uninsured populations by national region, individual states, cities, rural areas, etc.? If so, what are the histories of those regions/neighborhoods?
3. Taking the hard numbers, an historian can create several different visualizations according to how they want the data interpreted (i.e., bar graph, pie chart, geographical map with references, etc.).
4. In order to understand the demographics of healthcare, especially those directly preceding the Affordable Care Act, an historian may correlate the uninsured with other factors, such as: disease/outbreak demographics, income, race/ethnicity, occupation, etc.
