Aww, poor babies. They figured the CEO's would be in the tank for them, but shocker, looks like the CEOs live in the real world. Wonder why no one on our side (other than the Prez) is touting this study?
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A report by the Business Roundtable suggesting Democratic plans for U.S. healthcare reform could cut costs has angered Republicans.
The roundtable, which includes the CEOs of more than 50 large companies, was organized to lobby for pro-business policies. President Obama touted the report Thursday, saying researchers found Democratic legislation would cut costs for business by $3,000 a year for each worker, The Hill said.

"We estimate that if enacted properly, the right legislative reforms could potentially reduce that trend line by more than $3,000 per employee, to $25,435," the report stated.
Two weeks ago, Republicans criticized the roundtable for not being more aggressive in opposing healthcare reform. The report added new fuel.
