Aw, poor people. Their employer-sponsored plan is so generous it will be subject to the Cadillac plan tax.Not at all. The complaint, as Professor Waters says in the last paragraph, is that Harvard is "shifting costs to sick people." Meaning premiums are going down, while point of service costs are going up, including the replacement of copays with coinsurance for some services and the introduction of (*gasp*) a deductible. The University even reimburses some of those out of pocket costs for faculty making less than $95,000 a year, which I'm guessing doesn't include the complainers. |
