college query I was told that the new policy changes were based on the Obamacare provisions and that these changes should be national next year if everything goes according to plan.

“You don’t want to spend $4800 to add prescription coverage for your family so your child meets the requirement of NJ/Rutgers. So why don’t you spend $750 to meet the requirement instead by purchasing the offered plan for your student?”

That is correct. I don’t spend nearly that much on prescriptions. Why should I have to pay $750 when I already have a valid health care plan in place for my family and I choose to self-pay for prescriptions?

“Why do you think it’s not fair unless EVERYONE has to do it?”

um…because it’s not?

What if they said everyone over 40 years old should carry a higher level of coverage because they were more prone to get ill? Is that fair? Would people stand for it?

Why do you think it’s fair that the government should tell me that I have to insure my child at a higher level than the rest of my family only because he is in college?

Do you walk around town throwing money at passersby? I don’t get it.
