I'd be curious to see what sort of ties can be found between the school, or some of its board...

...members, and the insurance provider. Smells kinda fishy. Do you mind revealing the name of the school?
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.

Probably impossible to answer without seeing any contract you have to sign before you attend.

I think they will just add it to his term bill in that case.

That is exactly what they will do, except they offer no waiver in my position

Except not, because he already has a provider. Good try, but not really. Try again.

you might think that is true but it is likely the insurance he has won't be allowed under Obamacare
