Impact of health care reform unsure for students

Under the new health care law, children health care may be covered by their parent’s new health insurance. According to the new health-care law, parents can still cover their children on their health insurance until they turn 26 years old.

The health-care bill that passed on March 23 will be insuring 32 million people by the year 2019, but the involvements for student health care still unknown.

Many students are grateful for the new health-care law but they are still skeptical about it as a whole. Some welcome it but at the same time they think they are responsible to cover for themselves. The health-care bill will probably require students or young people to have some health insurance form by 2014. Some believe that this aspect of the health-care bill will be negative for the students.

The uncertainty is still there about the effects of the health-care bill that will have on student health insurance.
