If this turns out to be true, they are dishonest and their study is worthless. The citizens of the U.S. have a right to know if Republican politicians are trying to sway public opinion with faulty information.

The McKinsey study is seriously flawed and is now being called out by the Senate Finance Committee: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/06/max-baucus-issues-public-call-to-mckinsey-to-come-clean-about-controversial-hcr-survey.php Also industry expert - IFEBP's study didn't support their conclusions: http://www.plansponsor.com/Despite_Anticipated_Costs_Most_Employers_to_Keep_Health_Care_Benefits.aspx Most importantly - Nor did the Urban Institute study co authored by the head of McKinsey's healthcare practice. A bit odd huh?: http://www.urban.org/uploadedpdf/412295-Employer-Sponsored-Insurance.pdf I am all for studies and facts an conclusions drwan from them but your off base on this topic.
