( hate to say I told ya so.... )

The Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio will drop health insurance coverage for students this fall rather than comply with a federal mandate that its plan provide free birth control.

University officials on Tuesday also cited rising insurance costs for their decision to end student health coverage.

“The Obama Administration has mandated that all health insurance plans must cover ‘women’s health services’ including contraception, sterilization, and abortion-causing medications as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),” according to a university statement. “Up to this time, Franciscan University has specifically excluded these services and products from its student health insurance policy, and we will not participate in a plan that requires us to violate the consistent teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of human life.”

“Additionally, the PPACA increased the mandated maximum coverage amount for student policies to $100,000 for the 2012-13 school year, which would effectively double your premium cost for the policy in fall 2012, with the expectation of further increases in the future,” the statement said...

They dropped it. I think the statement after was more of an explanation, of why it was dropped, citing higher costs, had they kept the coverage.

Note to anyone - Anthony is a sack of go se, and will continue to be one until he removes that idiotic signature concerning his bald face lie about me, and what he claims I think about women. I'm due an apology from him.

So, they dropped it because they can't afford it, and tag birth control on there for some political points. Nice.

Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.

Just pointing out the facts that OCare will cost them , in money as well as in other ways. As it will for all of us. Or would, should we all be shackled with this monstrosity. ( hopefully not )

DALEK!

Well now the students will have to buy policies themselves...kinda what the GOP wanted right?

Good thing the health care exchanges will be up and running pretty soon, or the students can stay on their parents insurance.

Also from the story...

"The university will no longer require its undergraduates to carry insurance, according to the statement. "We didn't want to put them in a situation where they would have to violate their conscience," Michael Hernon, a vice president at Franciscan University, told Reuters.

Fewer than 200 students at the campus in southeast Ohio had been buying insurance from the university, Hernon told Reuters. Franciscan University has nearly 2,800 students."

I wonder if those 200 students were the ones who really needed that insurance, and it was all they could afford. The rest probably already ARE on their parent's plan, and would still be, even w/ out Obama's silly mandate, which forces coverage of their offspring well into adulthood.

Only ObamaCare, if enacted, will cut hundreds of billions of $'s from medicaid and medicare.
