They said that if all the healthy patients opted out for cheap health insurance policies, then they wouldn't be able to offer policies for people with health conditions. Their solution for this was to make their expensive insurance mandatory for everyone.

This doesn't sound legal to me, it sounds like they are steering people into just one plan. I thought people were supposed to have a choice. Even when we have a job and we are offered health insurance from just one company we are still given the option of taking it or not.

I'm pretty sure there could be a lawsuit over this kind of thing, but I don't want to create a big stir in school-- I just want to save that money every year. $4000 a year after 4 years is a substantial amount of money. The fees I listed before weren't even all the fees that they charge for health insurance-- there are a couple more.
