What do you think of...

<p>the mandatory health insurance? Have you ever used it?</p>

<p>Based on how little I used the plan my parents had before, I doubt I'm going to use it much here. I am fundamentally opposed requiring students to have health insurance under the college/university/institution plan because it denies students choice. Students should be able to turn down the institute-provided health insurance simply because they might already have it. Either it translates to a situation where students and their parents are paying twice for something or it compels us to support an unnecessary boondoggle that is so far removed from market forces, we can't cause change in it.</p>
