Hello everyone, I am an incoming freshman from FL. I recently received mail about the school’s health insurance compliance policy. I am currently on Medicaid in my home state, which does not comply with Penn’s policy. I called the school and a lady told me that the school only accepts Medicaid from NJ or PA. She recommended that I apply for Medicaid in NJ or PA (which I am not sure is legal). I have the option of enrolling in Penn’s insurance (which is about $3000) or completing a waiver that shows that my health insurance meets the eligibility requirements for Penn. Should I just go ahead and get my own insurance? Does anyone know of a cheap student health insurance? Thanks in advance
