For the record, it was cheaper for me to study abroad than to go to my normal college. My scholarship covered living expenses so all I had to do was pay for the flight (which was only a little more expensive than the flight I took to get to school - which was STILL cheaper than going to an in-state school based on my scholarship).
Like I said, I had health insurance when I was diagnosed so it was fine. Pick apart my story all you want. It doesn't do away with a serious problem for young adults who find themselves ill.
Again, the main pint of the posting is about healthy students. Those with pre-existing conditions is another subject.
Honestly, I find it unusual that you could get a $180,000 and NOT find a state side school. Something doesn't add up to me.
^^I really wish some of you would get off Charolastra00's case about this study abroad. She is correct; my kids did study abroad classes and the tuition through their regular college was the same as on-campus; the flight to the destination and the housing were the major expenses.
As I understand it, she was doing a study-abroad program through her regular college, not doing her entire college abroad.
In addition, she didn't know she was sick then! Give her a break!!
probably the millions of working folks who have always just paid for their own care and are being rewarded with a big fat obama fine. Get in the system or pay you independents. we know whats best,total control of everything.
But they didn't work for it!!!! Outraged!!! GRRRRRR!!!! If they get sick, I don't want to pay for them to get better. I don't care about other people, only myself and my cat!!!! GRRR!! OUTRAGE!!!
Why should they be given the opportunity to get better on my dime? HUH??? Can anybody tell me?!?! Grr!!!
I never use anything publicly funded...well I guess I drive to work on public roads. And I did go to public schools. Oh and there is the public library that I use frequently. But Grrrr, this is different somehow. I don't know how yet, but I will find out and return to express my outrage and grief!!!! GRRR!!!!!

"Under the health overhaul, children can remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26, and families have flocked to sign up young adults making the transition to work in a challenging economic environment".
They aren't on your dime, they're on the dime of their parents..Take it easy champ.
