Baucus isn't the only one.
Now, key House Democrats also are pushing McKinsey & Company to release the methodology behind their now-controversial survey regarding employers' plans to drop health care due to Obamacare.
Highlights of the survey were published in the June 2011 McKinsey Quarterly [see "McKinsey: One-third of employers will drop health coverage"], but the firm has refused to release the data to the public, despite repeated requests from lawmakers and media.

In a letter to McKinsey Consulting Company Managing Director Dominic Barton dated June 16, Democrats wrote that the findings of the McKinsey survey were "so markedly out of sync with other assessments that is has raised legitimate questions about the product, including how and why it was created."
"Refusing to release the underlying questions and methodology undermines the credibility of the findings," House Democrats wrote. "We are concerned that, if the survey based its conclusions on a questionable instrument and potentially biased methodology, McKinsey may have provided the American public with invalid information about the impact of the Affordable Care Act."
The letter was signed by Reps. Henry A. Waxman, Sander M. Levin, George Miller, Frank Pallone, Jr., Pete Stark, Rob Andrews, John D. Dingell, Diana DeGette, and John Lewis.
McKinsey reps have not yet commented on rebuttals to their survey findings.
