Health care could affect student insurance University Daily Kansan

For some, the cost of an emergency room visit wouldn’t have been a problem. But Brown, a junior from Lee's Summit, Mo., didn’t have health insurance.

“It cost $1,500 for just a few stitches,” Brown said.

Because Brown didn’t have health insurance, he had to set up a payment plan with the hospital. He said he had to start off with small payments of $20 a month. As long as he made regular payments, the hospital didn’t bug him about it. He eventually made larger payments, and a year after the accident he paid off the debt.

New federal legislation passed in March is meant to keep students like Brown from facing unexpected medical problems without health insurance. And beginning in July, new health care plans and most old plans will be required to allow children to stay on their parents’ plans until age 26.

Diana Malott, assistant director of Student Health Services, said she expected fewer students to need health insurance through the University after this legislation goes into effect and students can stay on their parents’ plans longer. But she said she and other administrators at Student Health Services were still uncertain about how the legislation would change student health plans.
