They're not

Another poll shows that 71% of those surveyed believe there should be
a public option. Again, it's of those surveyed - not all Americans. Sort
of like your poll.

As for the Round Table, I think most large companies are aware of how
much their health care benefits have increased over the years. They
are also aware of shifts from full employer payment to "sharing costs"
with employees.

The brightest ones understand that over time the percentage paid for
by the employee will continue to rise, or wage/salary increases will be
dramatically. Actually those increases are already been impacted- as
has employment levels.

I think the brightest ones are secretly hoping for a public option that
they can shift their employees to in exchange for an increase in payroll
taxes. Then they can get "gap" insurance for their employees at a
fraction of the previous costs. That way everyone buy hardline
conservatives wins.
