A Note From Mike Huckabee

A bombshell study that found 30 percent of employers would likely stop offering their workers health care benefits if Obamacare isn't repealed is under fire from the left. The White House claims the poll by McKinsey Consulting is inaccurate, biased, and doesn't jibe with other groups' findings. So Forbes analyst Avik Roy looked into the claims and found them less than convincing.

He discovered that some of the groups they claim the survey disagrees with, such as the Urban League, have actually issued the same warning. On the anti-Obama bias, McKinsey gave four times more money to Obama than to McCain, and the administration is filled with former McKinsey employees. As for the polling methods, Roy says they might have slanted toward their own clients who'd already been briefed by McKinsey on what Obamacare means. But McKinsey doesn't give political opinions, they give business advice. And if businesses agree that it would be in their best interests to dump their employees' health insurance, that's not political bias, it's just a fact of business life. Roy notes that the thing the Administration should be most worried about is the part of the poll that got no publicity. When you narrow it down to business owners who already know exactly what's in the Obamacare bill, the number who would dump their employee health care leaps to 50 percent.
