This guy is a professor. Don’t professors make $150,000-#200,000 per year with platinum benefit plans (and other perks)? They are protected from being effected by this economy-killing, medical-system lunacy. I bet he loves his “white privilege”.
I think your assumptions are correct about the professor. I would think he would get at least gold level coverage. We should find out in summer 2015 if insurance companies need to be bailed out..
