“I thought I worked for a big enough institution that I wouldn’t suffer any negative consequences!” — every Harvard professor in that piece

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.
Unfortunately for @Harvard profs, karma is a pre-existing condition not covered by #Obamacare: http://t.co/5DjrOtli24

Obamacare is all fun and games until you’re forced to accept it.

Shorter @Harvard – "But ACA was supposed to be for the peasant class!"

Harvard faculty who promoted and helped pass Obamacare are now complaining that their health costs are increasing. The hypocrisy is real.

Harvard faculty; 'Here, peasants, drink this all the way to the bottom."
ACA: "OK, your turn."

Apparently Harvard faculty who can afford to live in Boston can't afford $20 co-pay. Must all be related to Sandra Fluke
