A Conservative Is A Liberal Who's Been Mugged

Is that an old saying?  Either way, it applies here:

Many in New York’s professional and cultural elite have long supported President Obama’s health care plan. But now, to their surprise, thousands of writers, opera singers, music teachers, photographers, doctors, lawyers and others are learning that their health insurance plans are being canceled and they may have to pay more to get comparable coverage, if they can find it. 

The jokes write themselves.
