Reply #44: Want health care? Go back to college

[WorldTraveler777]

Here at the University of Illinois at Chicago, for about $1000 in fees a year, the student health care plan provides:


$500,000 lifetime Maximum Benefit
$0 Deductible

Inpatient hospital expense 100% covered
Mental health 100% with $100 deductible

Outpatient emergency and non-emergency expenses 100% covered
Physician expenses $100 w/$10 co-pay

Prescription drugs: 100% with $20 brand name, $10 generic co pay $2500 max

Vision and Dental: NO charge at Select network providers

What I don't understand is why they don't let College Grads COBRA their student health insurance? That would at least cover 19-30 year olds for a while.
