It’s hard not to smile at this story.
There is wailing and gnashing of teeth at Harvard University the very heart of Liberland. It seems that the benevolent folks at the august university have just realized that the same Obamacare they helped push down our throats will now be choking them as well. “Schaddenfreude” comes to mind. The word has a nice comforting ring to it. It means enjoying the misery of another person.
The “Eat your spinach experts” in Cambridge have realized that the provisions of Obamcare require them to pay more for less just as the rest of us have to. Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted to oppose the school’s plans to charge them higher rates than they had been enjoying, the only reason for the increase being their Imperial Lord’s Affordable Care Act.

Some of the stupidest people I know have diplomas from harvard on their wall.
I think that whenever issues like this come up it is only fitting to tell these people to “embrace the suck.” I for one will enjoy their impotent weeping, wailing, and gnashing of their teeth.
So I assume that Professor Richard F. Thomas is rather well paid compared to others at Harvard. Since he believes the increases “regressive”, does that mean he is willing to pay more to help out the poor janitors and lesser profs? I kind of doubt it.
