CUA drops health coverage

[Sallow]

Freedom of religion doesn't extend to the "right" to abridge the rights of others.

If a religious institution wants to run a business..which..by the way..IMHO..should be illegal..then they have to adhere to the laws of the land.

Simple as that.

Due to these changes in regulation by the federal government, beginning with the 2012-13 school year, the University 1) will no longer require that all full-time undergraduate students carry health insurance, 2) will no longer offer a student health insurance plan, and 3) will no longer bill those not covered under a parent/guardian plan or personal plan for student health insurance. The current student health insurance plan will expire on August 15, 2012.

We encourage you to decide how you are going to provide for accidents or illnesses requiring visits to physicians, health clinics, or the hospital emergency room while you are a student here. As always, our Health Center on campus will be staffed by a certified nurse practitioner Monday – Friday during normal business hours. No insurance is necessary to receive basic health-related services at the Health Center, and the visits cost only $5 at the time of service. However, if you are referred off campus for further lab testing, physician specialists, X-rays, etc., you will be responsible to pay for those services.

Good for them. Fuck Obama.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

This is exactly what they wanted. No health care left except the government health care. And when this country has the power over your health care your life will become so fucked. More fucked than it already is, idiots.

What "government healthcare"?

There's no "government healthcare" available at all.

You should read your link.

The school is canceling their student health plan - not their employee health plan.

That's not how it works.

They are hired to do a job..based on their skill set.

Not on the basis of their ethnicity, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

And that should be the way it works..according to the law.

Merged.

Regarding the above quote it is impossible to state that who is responsible for this thing, either the government or the college administrators.

Given that they apparently didn't drop the faculty health insurance plan, which is under the same rules as the student plan (i.e. a one-year exemption from the contraceptive coverage rules, followed by the costs of contraception being borne by the insurer and not the university), one could hazard a guess.

That said, Reuters reported: "Fewer than 200 of the 2,500 students at the campus in southeast Ohio had been buying insurance from the university, [university vice president] Hernon said."

Most plans only cover the child if no other plans are available to them...no matter how bad.

That's true only of grandfathered plans and even for them only through January 1, 2014. That's the flip side of the "if you like your plan, you can keep it" rationale that leads to grandfather clauses in the first place. Your plan obviously doesn't offer extended dependent coverage, but it's been grandfathered so it's not unequivocally subject to the blanket requirement to allow families the option to keep twenty-somethings on the plan.

She quit her job. Another victim of Obamacare. Punished for having a job.

It's strange to listen to you folks. You'll scoff at the "entitlement mentality," and then moan because a newly mandated insurance benefit isn't being made available to you fast enough.

does their skill set enable them to distinguish between a religious and a secular organization...?

How many of the college students affected by this cancellation will qualify for medicare, medicaid or SCHIP? (answer=0)

So, how does this fit into this supposed plan of "No health care left except the government health care" then?

you mean there isn't such a thing as college students with kids....?

if the college students cannot afford private healthcare then they'll have to go on a secular State plan or Medicaid if they qualify....

Obama's Marxist-style mandate that requires Catholic colleges, groups and businesses to pay for drugs that may cause abortions and birth control for their employees is beginning to have its intended effect......the cancellation of private health coverage....

This is how Marxist Socialists step on the freedom of religion....and step-by-step take over a huge chunk of the economy......and once the State controls a man's healthcare....it controls the man....

The tax is cheaper than the insurance, the cost of which is still increasing despite the passage of the legislation.

Yes the tax is cheaper than the insurance but before the tax it was even more cheaper.
Furthermore health care spending is now increasing at its lowest rate a decade, and all estimates and analysis of Obamacare show it reducing costs

you got your head in the sand.....?

ROTFL so you think Obamacare cost more in 20 yeras then 10 years means it costs more.
scratch that you do not think

^Health care reform (ACA) reduces total national health care spending by .1% a year while at the same time expanding coverage to 35 million people.

The Impact of Health Reform on Health System Spending
^Analysis concludes that health reform will expand health insurance for 35million people while simultaneously reducing overall health spending by around 2% (or .2% yearly)
This analysis does not include savings, from reduced job lock, less ER visits, and increased productivity/lifetime earnings.

I hope the democrats feel real good about this. Maybe they will feel as proud as when they drove Catholic Charities from the work they had done faithfully and well on adoption for so many years. I'm sure all those children who might otherwise have been adopted really appreciate the leftists insistence on violating the separation of church and state to advance their leftist agenda no matter what the consequences. Perhaps everyone at the university who finds themselves without coverage will be equally appreciative.

Cathlic charities ttopding not to be charities because they cant discriminate against gays is their doing. What next are you going to blame democrats for earthquakes?
