Today, Forbes reported that NFIB favors universal health care.

The National Federation of Independent Businesses--the largest U.S. small business lobbying group, with 350,000 members--announced its support for universal health care today, a seemingly surprising move from an openly right-leaning interest group.

Immediately I said to myself: WTF, how could this be? Why would small business owners favor such a thing? Yuck! 

But after doing some research, I found this on their press archives:

The National Federation of Independent Business, the state's leading small business organization, announced strong opposition to the universal health plan proposed this weekend by Senate leaders.

Then they say this about their membership:

As far as establishing universal health-care system, Smith referred to a 2006 NFIB/Wisconsin member survey ballot that showed 70 percent of the small-business owners were opposed to any health-insurance reform proposal funded primarily by an assessment on the payroll from employers.

So, are they being Romney flip-floppers?

Someone please explain this to me because to an average Jane like me, they seem like hypocrites, who had their brains melted by other unions.
