Guilford joins a long list of colleges raising their premiums. Virtually all current student insurance plans do not meet ObamaCare's mandates, and Forbes reports colleges have been forced to drop their plans or raise their premiums rates as much as 1,112% (and no, that's not a typo).

Hmmmm, at two condoms a night, a birth control pill refill every month, two STDs a year, an abortion every six months, sex wellness counseling, and vaccinations for HPV and hepatitis C, it's still a great deal.

EDIT

BTW I stole your line and gave no credit

Just roll it into your student loans...

They never learn...

So, is there any reason that the students can't buy their own catastrophic policy, or are they required to purchase insurance through their colleges? Are they a captive market?

If students under age of 26 are now on parents' health insurance, problem solved.

Can't speak for US colleges, but they introduced this crap when I was in my 3rd year at a major Canadian university. Canada already has universal healthcare, but the university's administrators got the idea that the students 'needed' a drug plan/dental plan, and proceeded to tack it on as an extra $350/year fee. We could only exempt ourselves from it if we could prove we already had insurance. They put it to a vote of the students, and, just like Obama's doing right now, the big wedge issue was that "birth control" (meaning oral contraception for females) would be covered under such a plan. Otherwise, it was a horrific plan where claiming >$350 would have been impossible due to coverage limits.

So basically some jackbooted university administrators imposed a requirement that the students buy a horrible health insurance plan from a private company. No respect of individual freedoms of choice. No respect of the fact that many students are serious about their studies and simply choose not to engage in sexual activities that may require birth ontrol. Pure thuggery at its best.

Another win for Obozo!

Hope n' change folks.

Hope for his corporate sponsors. Change for the "middle class" peasants.
