If we are just going by who is associated with whom, the critics of the study are right wing neocons with no small bone to pick with anything that might seem "liberal". There is a reason that their Op-Ed was in the Washington Times.
But I don't get your insurance industry criticism. That study was horrid for the insurance industry and one of the reasons that people are people are calling for health insurance reform. I'm a bit dubious of the numbers in the original study but I just don't see it as being bought and paid for by the health insurance industry. There are plenty of other reasons I could see for bias in the study but I don't think that insurance shill is one of them.
