It's good for masses, but not for them.

Check out the prices they are bitching about

Agreed.
Welcome to the real world, and that's about as good as it gets.

The feel good story of the year so far, Harvard faculty whining about increased healthcare costs due to Obamacare.

I want to see what the folks across town at MIT think about it. I wonder if any of them still talk to Gruber.

From the NYT article:

Quote:
In Harvard’s health care enrollment guide for 2015, the university said it “must respond to the national trend of rising health care costs, including some driven by health care reform,” otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act. The guide said that Harvard faced “added costs” because of provisions in the health care law that extend coverage for children up to age 26, offer free preventive services like mammograms and colonoscopies and, starting in 2018, add a tax on high-cost insurance, known as the Cadillac tax.
So, Harvard is trying to explain to its genius faculty that free stuff isn't free.

Good luck with that.
