Schadenfreude-tastic: Pity party thrown for Harvard faculty who loved Obamacare until it hit THEM

Get your tiny violins out and prepare to play a sad song at the pity party of the week:

The effects of laws they call for obviously were never intended to be felt by them:

For years, Harvard’s experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar.

Members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the heart of the 378-year-old university, voted overwhelmingly in November to oppose changes that would require them and thousands of other Harvard employees to pay more for health care. The university says the increases are in part a result of the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act, which many Harvard professors championed.

The faculty vote came too late to stop the cost increases from taking effect this month…

What. A. Shame.

I just listened to a story on NPR from a reporter that was doing a story on Obamacare when he was diagnosed with needing heart surgery. So his story had a twist. His takeaways were interesting as three of them were EXACTLY what I said needs to be addressed before we need to worry about draconian government intervention:
1. Tort reform (and all that that implies)
2. Absurd profit margins for “non-profits” like hospitals and, especially, medical equipment providers.
3. A general lack of competition, keeping costs high. This sorta rolls into number 2.

I am grinning from ear to ear with the news. I love it when liberals have to eat their own (fill in the blank).

The best way to get rid of Obamacare is to make it apply to EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

Harvard’s experts were ‘grubered’... guess they were too stupid to see it coming.

“and the professors are in an uproar.”

There may be a few but I’m sure there were more than a few
who are still down for it with their nose in the air who
have way to much to lose if they ever had to admit to
being played for an absolute fool by their own great
heroic Man-of-Their-Lifetime, Barack Obama.

The fact is anyone who supports Obama in any way has been
used for the fools that they are.

The Harvard caste is a huge threat to Americans because they are the racist club of elites that oddly get first dibs and say on any important matter from economics, foreign policy, media, regulations, healthcare, and Supreme Court.

While they call the shots in an extremely undemocratic manner for all Americans, they are often front and center always claiming that white Anglos are the privileged ones. BS! More appropriately they are the privileged ones.
