Students can waive out of this plan only with proof and submission of having comparable insurance levels -$100,000K per illness and $100,000K per injury
(this is what goes on in MA under RomneyCare, if you do not opt for your employers insurance they need a note that states you have insurance elsewhere)
The thing with college - now most students - up to 26yrs old - can still be under their parents policies - I’ve read where upwards of 2/3rds of students in the US are covered under their parents policies..
Fluke’s testimony was carefully crafted - notice she relays stories of “students” in their 30’s - to not have an argument that most are covered under parents. It also is deceptive because the college does offer to opt-out of their plan and students can buy other plans - I looked at over 20 plans for DC for a 30 year old female student - all of them under the $157/mo of the Georgetown plan cost - all of them presumable covering BCP’s and most likely hitting that 100K coverage standard.
There were so many ways to rip Fluke’s testimony apart - but by calling her a slut - when she never talked about herself in the testimony - killed a great opportunity to rip this whole thing apart.
Ugh

All your points are valid. I don’t listen to Rush so I don’t know what all he said. But, he botched this one.
i don’t know if he was given the full transcript or just a quick synopsis.
Someone with the know how needs to rip it apart. Hannity?? Get a doctor on his show to explain all the bs this woman is trying to foist on the masses.
