Useful Health and Health Care Data from the Government

We are constantly advised that intuition is a poor substitute for facts. While data and facts are not always synonymous, most people will doubtlessly agree that data are generally more useful and persuasive than opinion. Finding the data we need can be confusing and frustrating, but no entity possesses and publishes more data than the US federal government. Some of these data are more accessible than others, but if inquisitors are persistent and creative, then they can uncover a trove of information that can improve insights and increase contributions to organizations.
