Cornell students erupt over health care fee

Students at vaunted Cornell University are plenty smart enough to know they should not have to pay a penalty for not buying the school's health insurance if they already have coverage, but that's exactly what a new policy at the Ivy League school requires.

The $350 "health fee" for opting out of the school’s insurance plan was announced in a memo school President David Skorton posted on Cornell’s website last week, according to higher education blog The College Fix. But it is just setting in with the student body, and many attending the Ithaca, N.Y., school are not pleased. Under the Affordable Care Act, students must have insurance, but making those already covered pay an extra fee to skip the school's plan is not sitting well.

“Effective next academic year, 2015-16, we will be introducing a student health fee for those not enrolled in the Cornell Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP),” read the memo. “As a physician, parent and president, I am proud of our university's long history of providing quality medical, mental health, education and prevention services on campus. These essential services play a critical role in student well-being and, therefore, success. Yet funding these services — and creating access to them for all students — has been a growing fiscal challenge, and a personal concern of mine.”

The announcement sent students into a fervor, leading to a series of rallies on campus and hashtag activism, with #FightTheFee trending on the social media website.

And now they know. Welcome to the real world.

They had better get used to it, someone has to subsidize the have not's at Cornell.

Attending an equally "vaunted " university, I chose to be insured. Cost 6K for PPO. I will be forced to replace that insurance. No one will insure me with the same PPO with my heart and other assorted health conditions.

Yeah to late now, "evil" republicans already tried. Do they really think this trendy hashtag s#!t will do anything? I love it when these kids go about rallying/protesting, I can't help but just get a good chuckle out of it.

If I had social media I'd try to start a #WeToldYouSo

Hopefully more people will see the light by 2016 and we can elect someone that will repeal all this nonsense.

Looks like their SHIP has finally come in...
...schadenfreude is such a soothing emotion.

Yup, progressives...it hurts sooooo good...

Too soon to say, "I told you so"? :rolleyes::D

TR

Could one of the 2L's spline this??

berry care is between the government, an employee, & the employer.

These kids are students,,
they are purchasing an education,,
they are not employees???

The money Cornell collects goes to Cornell???

Does this men the little league can start making money off berry care? The girl and boy scouts?

If I purchase a Big Mac, do I also have to buy Mickey D's insurance??


Confused.. :munchin

what I saw on the news this morning was that there was no direct connection. it was a "principled" connection - in that what Cornell is doing to the students is exactly what Obummercare is doing to the citizens.
READ: It does not matter that you have provided for your OWN insurance needs, shut up and pitch in for everyone else as well. After all....it's only "fair". (put in pink font)

Eff these liberal assclowns - you want a socialist utopia...?? You've got it. Now get to work and start paying the King. The irony is rich with these idiots.

Heads I win...
Tails you loose...

The kids are getting a lesson about dealing with the incremental expansion of BIGGOV...lotsa rules...lotsa costs...not more doctors...

No Big Gulps, no surplus ammo, no ID to vote, no black rifles...no freedom...

But, lotsa pot, taxes, lines and "free" birth control...free community college for all...

Don't think about it too hard...don't try to apply logic...just submit to the will of the collective BORG...just observe the president make funny faces in the mirror...

But, don't pay too close attention to the golfer behind that curtain...MSNBC will tell you what to think...you're gonna strain yourself...BIG GOV will grant you all that you will need. ISIS is not Islamic...you are getting Veeeery sleeeeeeeepy....

If you still don't understand, Jen Psaki or Josh Earnest will be along to help you.

So how does work when the "Student" is under "26" and still has to be covered under mommy and daddy's insurance plan?

I'm glad the little F_cks and their a$$clown parents are tasting their own medicine and hope it has a bitter taste! Two spoonfuls of sugar will not make it taste any better but, I'm afraid castor oil is all we'll be able to afford soon.

I don't see how this relates to Obamacare...it's a fee to pay for the cost of operating the university's on-campus health care facilities.

My wife is a faculty member at a very large state university here in Florida...students are charged a health care per credit-hour on the main campus for that reason. Students on satellite campuses aren't charged the fee, because those campuses don't have health care facilities.
