B-but the crime rate in Washington has dropped 46% in the last ten years... Oh, wait, you're talking politics.
...
But seriously, I'm sick of this topic now (US healthcare), I got sick of it ages ago. I can rarely be bothered to debate it any more.
However, I can clearly see why the government wants AT&T to give a testimony. AT&T have made a very bold claim, it's not to be sniffed at lightly, the government have the right to be sceptical. It even says in the document you linked to in the OP...
"The new law is designed to expand coverage and bring down costs, so your assertions are a matter of concern. They also appear to conflict with independent analyses. The Congressional Budget Office has reported that companies that insure more than 50 employees would see a decrease of up to 3% in average premium costs per person by 2016."
If AT&T can prove that it will cost huge amounts of money for companies their size, then the government will see that the bill is having the adverse effect than they intended. Who knows, this case may even allow them to reach some form of a consensus.
