last blog, sad day

For my last blog I decided to write about the new health care bill. This bill will affect college students directly. There are many reasons of why this bill is good for college students. Currently 67% of college students are covered by their parents' employee sponsored insurance. With this new bill going into effect, this percentage will increase significantly. This is because more parents will have health insurance from the increased population coverage. Medical needs of those college age students will be covered by their parent’s policies. Students will now be able to stay on their parents insurance until age 26, and they don’t have to be enrolled at all times. Students can work at their own pace and take time off if need be. This will come to a relief to many seniors in college who are getting ready to graduate knowing that finding a job is very tough in this economy, especially ones that provide good enough health insurance. By college students having insurance / better insurance this will also keep the college campuses more healthy.
