McKinsey Health Insurance Report Attracts Controversy

American politicians are finally getting the courage to tackle entitlement spending. For months Congress has been the scene of political theater on par w/the Greek tragedy playing out in Europe.

The latest installment in the political saga comes courtesy of McKinsey, the giant consulting firm that recently published a report that under ObamaCare, 1/3 of all US employers would drop health care coverage. The findings have resulted in a media frenzy by the insurance industry and Congress. Questions over the methodology, sample size, and types of questions are being raised.
