Evangelical College Ends Health Coverage To Avoid Even Declaring Objection to Birth Control

14. Actually the parents were already paying

the students and their parents paid premiums and the college only acted as middleman, likely getting a better rate because students are healthier on average than general population. The students are not employees and do not receive any financial aid by the college to pay their insurance premiums.
All in all this is a plus for the nation as a whole, even though the students may pay a price in this case. Putting healthier individuals in the general pool reduces rates (eventually at least ) for all of us. Furthermore birth control for young people is the best insurance they can have at this stage of their lives when they really cannot afford a child and will prevent them abortions our right wing friends are so concerned about.
It would actually be a good thing for the country if all schools quit making insurance plans available to students especially as students can stay much later on their parents plan.
So let us not get too upset about this supposed thumbing in the eye of Obamacare and womens rights. It does nothing of significance to hurt neither health care nor women's rights and in truth lowers overall cost and expands access to birth control.
