Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Harvard Liberal Arts Faculty Freaks the F**k Out Over Obamacare Changes to their Health Insurance That They Themselves Agitated ForThis will give you a weeping shadenboner and the extra weeping is for extra sexy. WASHINGTON -- 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. ... "Harvard is a microcosm of what's happening in health care in the country," said David M. Cutler, a health economist at the university who was an adviser to President Obama's 2008 campaign. But only up to a point: Professors at Harvard have until now generally avoided the higher expenses that other employers have been passing on to employees. That makes the outrage among the faculty remarkable, Mr. Cutler said, because "Harvard was and remains a very generous employer."Indeed, that makes this all underpants-stretching remarkable.

I think the funniest part of the article - and it's all knee-slapping hilarious -- has got to be this, which I saw pointed out on Twitter:
In many states, consumers have complained about health plans that limit their choice of doctors and hospitals. Some Harvard employees have said they will gladly accept a narrower network of health care providers if it lowers their costs. But Harvard's ability to create such networks is complicated by the fact that some of Boston's best-known, most expensive hospitals are affiliated with Harvard Medical School. To create a network of high-value providers, Harvard would probably need to exclude some of its own teaching hospitals. or discourage their use. That is just fantastic. I can't even explain to you how much giddiness I feel. Though this is a close second: "Harvard employees want access to everything," said Dr. Barbara J. McNeil, the head of the health care policy department at Harvard Medical School and a member of the benefits committee. "They don't want to be restricted in what institutions they can get care from."

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." Interesting logic, Mary.

In addition, some ideas that looked good to academia in theory are now causing consternation. In 2009, while Congress was considering the health care legislation, Dr. Alan M. Garber - then a Stanford professor and now the provost of Harvard - led a group of economists who sent an open letter to Mr. Obama endorsing cost-control features of the bill. They praised the Cadillac tax as a way to rein in health costs and premiums.

And the thing that struck me the most was the infighting between the grad students and the faculty. I guess I was naive about how academia worked, but man it was a pit of vipers from what my GF told me. For every 10 PHds graduating from Columbia (or Harvard or Yale) there's 1 professorship at Columbia. And they all want it and will do whatever it takes to get it even if it means sabotaging the other 9 along the way. And the relationships with non-tenured profs was the same since the non-tenured prof saw all the grad students are potential competition.
I was working at an evil bank at the time and thought, yikes, you guys are worse than anything I deal with. Like I said...surreal world. Last I heard my GF didn't quite make it to an Ivy school as a prof, she ended up at a top state U. Close enough and probably a better environment for the long run.

You mean..... the tribe doesn't cut you in on all that sweet casino cash???
You should read about all the shenanigans native tribes do to make sure the group getting that cash is small. I know one man who was full-blooded native to a tribe. When he was young the elders were sending kids out to get educations because they felt it would give kids the best chance at success. Later when they started building casinos they cut out anyone who wasn't living on the tribal land a certain percentage of their growing up years. So my full-blooded native acquaintance didn't get a cut because he did what the elders asked and got an education off-rez. Posted by: bonhomme at January 05, 2015 01:45 PM (jhqr1) 200
So they used to have no deductible at all? Musta been nice.
Posted by: votermom at January 05, 2015 01:41 PM (41+s5) ___________ Circa 2004 I had a plan with $0 deductible, $0 co-pay and $0 monthly premium. One day an email went out that said the plans would now cost $20/month for individuals and $30/month for families. You would have thought the employer just said we'd have to give up our first born sons the way people reacted. And this was a group of people making six figures and then some.

When her employer told her that all their primary care physicians were expected to average 6 minutes per patient visit including paperwork and to consistently average 10 patients per hour for the clinic day she went ballistic.

Now, with the current level of implementation of O-care they are running away from actual work. You cannot find an FP in this town who is taking new patients. They are doing "wallet biopsies" on the few new patients who do get in, heaven forbid you have Medicare or Medicaid. They hand all their sick patients off to the hospitalists.

"...because we just can't afford to pay for grandma once she no longer can contribute to society."
This phrase of "contributing to society" or the nation or economy has been making the rounds recently and rubs me the wrong way, (much like "giving back" as opposed to giving.") It makes the assumption we are here tp work for the greater good and the notion is being forcefully foisted on the nations consciousness. I, for one, am not here working to benefit other people. I have myself and my family to take care and by doing so this helps build a better society as a extra benefit. I do plenty of other things as well but this idea we are all working for the betterment of society is an especially annoying progressive wet dream. Especially when they think following their dreams, whatever the cost to others, is their part of building a better world. Posted by: George Orwell de Leon at January 05, 2015 02:11 PM (1BQGO) 329

It is a fact, you know, those things that exist in objective reality, that you can see Russia from Alaska.

Huh I was going to say that the US Russia border is less than 20 miles but a quick search shows it's about 3 miles. So, yes, it is an actual fact that you can see Russia from Alaska. For fuck's sake.

Posted by: Biff Boffo at January 05, 2015 02:34 PM (1JJ9R) 428
I really do think ObamaCare is one of those gifts that's going to keep giving for Republicans for a while.
It probably would have been the best thing for Democrats had the Supreme Court struck it down early on. This is something that hits people every 4 weeks and reminds them what happens when "Big Government" tries to solve problems. The only issue is, unless there's a Republican president, I don't see how we truly get rid of it. A President Hillary is not going to sign on for a full repeal and Republicans are going to have a hard time ever coming up with anything short of full repeal to explain to their base. So in the meantime, there's this zombie policy that everyone hates but it seems there's no plausible path to get rid of it. Posted by: McAdams at January 05, 2015 02:34 PM (1c9nf) 429

For me, there's a happy medium between short stumpy legs and long legs. I have no use for ridiculously long legs like all those homely models have.
Posted by: Soothsayer's Imaginary Home For Incorrigible Boys Girls at January 05, 2015 02:40 PM (PtGcE) ---------------------------------------- Long ago when I was working at an opera summerstock, I dated a dancer that had the most beautiful long legs I've ever seen. And she loved showing them off. And, no, she wasn't a skeletal model type.

Well Obama may make use a few teensy weensy little verbal mistakes. I'll spot you that Bob Belcher.
But what Obama does have is shit pot full of ignorance. For a guy with a fancy education, he doesn't know beans. Posted by: Comanche Voter at January 05, 2015 02:46 PM (wdHk6) 469
Okay, late to the discussion here, but isn't this *exactly* the "smart set" that told us we were idiots for thinking that PP-Caca was going to price people out of the health insurance market, and make health care costs generally more expensive?
And aren't they the people who told us we were idiots for opposing such "obvious cost-saving measures?" Yeah... I may have to call my doctor about this schadenboner. Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) - TrueCon at January 05, 2015 02:46 PM (kff5f) 470
I'd heard that Harvard has one of the largest endowments in the world. If Breitbart was alive, he'd be mounting a fun rage campaign ala Hobby lobby over the Hahvad fatcats squeezing the poor profs whilst swimming laps in their money pool.
Hahvad won't let havhad employees use the havhad medical system!?! That's gold. Posted by: Ho Lee Shit at January 05, 2015 02:47 PM (Spluw) 471

I agree. His ratio of statements of ignorance to verbal slips is 10 to 1. Posted by: Bob Belcher at January 05, 2015 02:49 PM (3jmxp) 476
It seems that Harvard is hoist on its own retard.
Thread winner. Also, I love that Harvard profs are protesting over a $250.00 deductible with a 90/10 coinsurance. I would give my left testicle for insurance that good at the rates they pay. They don't even know from "increased costs," and their caterwauling just makes more clear how completely out-of-touch they are.

"If the standard is does-not-contribute-to-society, Harvard's faculty is in deep, deep trouble.
Along with the entire FSA.' The FSA has a very important function to fulfill. Vote Democrat. No death panels for them. In fact, your grannies "share" of healthcare care will be diverted to the FSA seniors corps as long as they can vote. Posted by: George Orwell de Leon at January 05, 2015 02:51 PM (1BQGO) 481
318 Missouri law doesn't require unanimity for an indictment.
I didn't know there was any state that did. Is there? ________________________ Not that I know of. But the grand juror here is apparently complaining that the Missouri GJ wasn't unanimous in its decision not to indict. It doesn't have to be. Missouri has grand juries of 12, and requires 9 to agree to indict, or there is no indictment. We don't know the vote in the Darren Wilson case; all we know is that there were not 9 votes to indict. Maybe the vote was 8-4, and the plaintiff juror is pissed because they were so close. Who knows? Point is, the grand juror doesn't have a valid cause of action (for a lawsuit against the prosecutor) simply because he/she is unhappy with the no-bill. This is just the ACLU and the usual racial grievance-mongers trying to keep this issue in the spotlight longer. Hopefully, Missouri law has some serious penalties for a clearly frivolous lawsuit like this one. Posted by: TrivialPursuer at January 05, 2015 02:51 PM (2ruKl) 482

370- I doubt it, hater. I conceal my true name only out of a legitimate fear of Reich-wing political violence as racist crypto-Nazis seek to end my online activism to support our historic first multiracial President, Barack Obama, who all correctly thinking persons who are non sister-fucking racist trash or Star Wars fetishists support completely.

RaQUel Welch dancing
Posted by: Soothsayer's Imaginary Home For Incorrigible Boys & Girls at January 05, 2015 02:31 PM (PtGcE) That yellow thing is in Denver. Looks like an amatuerish attempt to dance like Michael Jackson. The producer did his/her best to hide RW behind a couple of pro dancers as much as possible. It's retro-cute, but it looks more 80's than 90's to me. Posted by: Meremortal at January 05, 2015 03:02 PM (1Y+hH) 495
