Dems Try to Discredit Survey Showing Flaws in Obamacare

By Matt Cover | June 20, 2011 | 10:26

Top House Democrats are going on the offensive against business consulting firm McKinsey & Company over a study the company conducted that found that significant numbers of employers would stop offering health insurance due to Obamacare’s mandates.

The McKinsey study found that 30 percent of employers would “definitely or probably” stop offering their employees health insurance due to Obamacare’s minimum coverage mandate for employers with 50 or more employees.

That finding is at odds with other studies conducted by the CBO, Rand Corporation, and Urban Institute that all suggested a much smaller effect on employer-provided insurance.

Democrats seized on this discrepancy in launching their attacks on McKinsey, trying to discredit the study by pointing to the fact that the firm refuses to release the raw data it used.

Well, DUH! Business exist to make a profit.

If businesses can drop the huge expense of employee insurance, they will to be more profitable. Common sense should tell the Libs that this would happen.

Libs don't understand business. They never could seem to figure out that private health insurers are in business to make a profit, that they do not insure out of the kindness of their hearts.

Red Jeep,

common sense is sorely lacking in the lib make-up. They don't have it, so they can't rely on it, they can only go by their "feelings". As many of them are in the same experience boat with Ears, they have no idea how a business functions, unless we allow them to count their campaign experience as business experience.

And, profit is nothing to them, except something to be confiscated. 

To re-elect Obama would be like the Titanic backing up and hitting the iceberg again.

"Democrats suggested that by informing respondents of the effects of Obamacare, McKinsey had somehow biased them against the law."

That's right. Letting employers actually read the stipulations set forth in the bill that directly affects them is "biased."

The only reason Democrats are jumping on this is because the results are shedding real light on their anathema of a healthcare bill. Expect more of the same as more details come to light and scrutiny.
