Claim: A Republican TV ad falsely claims that businesses "are forced to drop health care coverage" and families are "losing health care benefits" under the new federal health care law. "That's what's happening," the ad says. But that's not happening now. The claim is based on a July survey of corporate executives and human-resource officers who were asked if they expect their companies to drop insurance coverage in the next one to five years. The survey found that "9% of companies representing 3% of the workforce anticipate dropping coverage in the next 1-3 years."
