Guffaw! You mean Harvard professors have to live with Obamacare, too?! Unfair, said no one ever. Harvard is making changes to employee healthcare plans that would require thousands of Harvard employees to pay more for health care. Hawvahd says that its in part due to the Affordable Care Act. The best part is when the article quotes a professor of classics for calling it “deplorable, deeply regressive, a sign of the corporatization of the university.” Then, Mary D. Lewis, a professor who specializes in the history of modern France and has led opposition to the benefit changes, said they were tantamount to a pay cut. “Moreover,” she said, “this pay cut will be timed to come at precisely the moment when you are sick, stressed or facing the challenges of being a new parent.” Maybe we should have thought of this before imposing it on the nation?
