White House Struggles to Answer Questions About Harvard Faculty Outrage Over ObamaCare

The liberals aren’t blaming Obamacare. They are blaming the corporatism of Harvard.

[Logical me]

These Harvard ars hats don't know even now what hell they have pushed on Americans by supporting a communists black Muslim traitor. Understand that their deductible is around $250. WTF. Most Americans are facing $5000 or more deductible every damn year. In essence, Americans have no insurance.

They can buy the entire city of Cambridge for cash, but can’t afford O care : )

Screw Harvard : )

Ed Henry asked Earnest if it was “hypocritical” for these professors to claim that Obamacare was good for the country until they, themselves, had to pay more because of it. Earnest, for his part, seemed stumped by the question.

If we really wanted to hear screaming and moaning we could tell Congress they ALSO must live under that laws they force on the rest of us. The Harvard Faculty got grubered... good - glad it happened ... couldn't have happen to a more deserving group of jerks.

I had my first doctor appointment for the year yesterday, got my prescriptions refilled. My pharmacy copay is up $200.00 a month, United Healthcare won't cover my Spiriva now.

I might soon qualify to wear an I CAN'T BREATHE TEESHIRT!

The upside to this is that somewhere a democrat is getting a sex change operation.

The Spiriva I have on hand is through the generosity of a fellow Freeper, so I have some time to hatch a B plan.

How can they complain about free health insurance for everybody? They must be raciss......................

During the press briefing at the White House this afternoon, Josh Earnest was questioned about President Obama’s former colleagues at Harvard who are now complaining about the ACA they once supported.

Good, richly ironic article, but they weren't his colleagues. Obama wasn't on the faculty there, so far as I know.

You know they really thought that the U.S. was already a communist country and Obama our dictator and of course, they would be exempt because they thought they were part of the Politburo.

[Varsity Flight]

A lot of the gullible falling for this PR stunt as “news”, from the heart of the birthplace of RomneyExtortionCare.

Nothing but a deflection attempt to make believe all are under ExtortionCare, so “jump on board” before April 15th.

Don’t fall for it. Don’t fall for this as being a real “newsmaker.”

[TEXOKIE]

“Said it before. One of the first bills that the GOP needs to send to Obama is simply: No one is exempt from Obamacare.”

Bumping that to the top. Wish our reps actually WERE our reps and would listen to us.

[NativeSon]

they were really after was the sense of moral superiority that they got for supporting “affordable healthcare for all”.

Ain't that the truth. It never matters what damage the left does or what promises they break, because feelings are the only thing that matters.

When the POS was pushing that POS, wackos were already driving around with "I Love Obamacare" bumper stickers - how could they possibly know what they were supporting, it was years away from covering anyone.

[SteveH]

And more fun with that would be to send Obama a bill that states that anyone guilty of not implementing ObamaCare as originally passed by Congress shall immediately be fined 100% of their government salary, plus $100M.

Harvard has a $36.4 Billion Endowment.
They can afford anything.

I was complaining to my insurance man about being in the donut hole and having to pay through the nose for my meds, and he gave me a great idea. He said forget Medicaid and just go in and pay cash. It may be much cheaper than your co-pay. About the same time I found a website that compares costs of all medications at various pharmacies in whatever area you live in. I checked out prices on a couple meds I was taking, and found I could buy the same stuff for substantially less. I just checked on your Spiriva and in my area it would cost $310. To check it in your area, check out www.goodrx.com (At Sam’s Club, one of my prescriptions on Medicaid was $48, and the cash price at goodrx (with the goodrx coupon) I got it for $7.00.)

Canadian prices. 30 caps is normal monthly dose.

already driving around with “I Love Obamacare” bumper stickers

Leftist soteriology - “I’m a good person (and worthy of eternal salvation) because I care”

They might as well have been driving around with “I’m better than you” bumper stickers.
