The required insurance policy at Georgetown runs $157 a month, and only allows for ‘free’ access to the on site clinic. It carries a $200 incidental deductible, and insurance ‘copays’ are $30 per prescription for the class that would include birth control pills (if they were covered.)

Target, down the street from the college, offers pills for $9, the prescription can be obtained at the college clinic.

For term health insurance for this group, the insurance rates are a massive ripoff. Rather than dancing around Washington, these students should be attending the economics class and then start questioning why the college is profiting off of a required medical plan ($5 per month additional for administration).

Even more, why these plans are being charged directly to the student account (where they are most likely to be included in a student loan package) so that not only are they getting ripped off, they're getting ripped off for decades at interest.

The whole thing is a setup from start to finish. The ObamaCare like forced plan at the college, the non-inclusion of benefits, the rip offs - no one seems to question a mandatory insurance plan, even if the student is insured otherwise, that mostly includes the on site clinic which used to be free for students anyway.

I imagine if someone in the area shadowed her for a few days we would learn that her Starbucks purchases in one month would cover he “social needs” adequately for months.
