Harvard Faculty Outraged by Obamacare [satire]

Irate that deductibles on their post-Obamacare health insurance have soared to $250 per year, the Harvard faculty has vented its spleen at the Administration. Previously, faculty health insurance plans had no deductibles.

Dr. Albie Derned, Associate Professor Philosophy, characterized the increase as “intolerable” and “a stab in the back. We have been 100% behind the President in his efforts to transform this country’s health care system. For us to be swept into plans we don’t like is poor payback for our loyalty.”

The fact that deductibles for ordinary people under the Obamacare rules are typically twenty times as high did not abate Derned’s indignation. “Ordinary people can’t be trusted to use insurance wisely,” he maintained. “If costs for the system are going to be held in check there has to be a significant financial incentive to economize on the use of benefits. The vast majority of the complaints for which a person consults a doctor will resolve themselves without treatment. The high deductibles encourage people to let time cure their ailments.”

In Derned’s view, “the best and brightest elite of the population shouldn’t be subjugated by the same regulations as everyone else. The idea that all ought to be treated alike undermines the motivation for people to rise above the common herd. It can only lead to indolence and mediocrity.”

So few have enrolled or had the final cost impact reach them it is obvious that the shock will continue. I expect that in ten years our once vaunted system will be a distant memory.
