Yesterday, numerous news outlets – including the Wall Street Journal and Reuters – published stories about a startling new study claiming that some 30% of employers plan to stop offering health insurance to workers as a result of the Affordable Care Act. There’s no doubt that this figure, derived form a study conducted by McKinsey consultants is noteworthy. Previous other reputable studies have said far fewer businesses would drop coverage, as the White House was eager to point out in the wake of news coverage stemming from the McKinsey study.

Rather than just report what was contained in the McKinsey study, however, I wanted to know more about the study itself.
