Weren't premiums supposed to go down by 3,000 percent after wonderful Obamacare was signed into law?...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Bruce Mallette, the UNC system's vice president for academic and student affairs, blamed the increase on a high number of claims by students on the policy.

Reality has a way of dampening Utopian plans for low cost health insurance for all. Rates go up or they start refusing certain types of care to students to keep claims down -- those are the choices. Now the administration could cut staff salaries and benefits to absorb some of this cost to help the poor students, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

"If you look nationally, the pricing we had in the first two years was very, very competitive, and students utilized it and utilized it and utilized it."

Law of supply and demand. Demand goes up, price goes up. Maybe they should teach economics there...........

The ObamaTax will double it again each and every year as those who pay have to pay for those that don’t, like illegal aliens and Democrat voters.

The University of North Carolina system requires all students to have health insurance coverage [...]

Why, for heaven's sake?

$1400/yr for a health insurance policy is plenty cheap these days. Stop complaining....

If you don’t have a Mommy or Daddy who is full-time employed so you can park yourself on their plan you are SOL, it seems.

My 26 year Old son just graduated from UNCW with a masters. When he looked at the 6 month extension on his crappy student insurance we were told it was 3600 FOR 6 MONTHS.
