<p>Does Cornell really make all of their students have health insurance? I can neither afford their SHIP one, nor a different one.</p>
<p>FOr as difficult as it is to pay for insurance on top of all of those other back to college expenses, be advised that one unexpected trip to the ER and X-rays may quickly add up to an amount over what you would have paid for the policy. Trust me, accidents happen and they get expensive very quick. You don’t want to not get professional help because of the costs.</p>
<p>Yes, but I believe the cost for health insurance is included in financial aid.</p>
<p>Health insurance isn’t included in FA. I guess I’ll go look for a really cheap one elsewhere and opt out of the SHIP one.</p>
