"We ask you to voluntarily drop the caps this year. We don't want anyone to have to go through what Kenya has gone through."<br /><br />UC officials say they're weighing their options but are hesitant to voluntarily lift the caps until they know what it would cost - and how much they'd have to raise the price of student health care to pay for it.<br /><br />"It's a front-burner issue," said Peter Taylor, UC's chief financial officer, who became aware of the problem last summer. "We're not making a profit on (student health care) - but I can't afford to lose money, either."<br /><br /> :<br /><br />Meanwhile, UC and other universities, including Harvard, have asked federal health officials to add self-funded student health plans to the new law, in which case UC would be required to lift the caps, said Grace Crickette, UC's chief risk officer. Asked why, Crickette said it was to benefit students, who might otherwise suffer tax penalties.</i><br /><br />So UC Berkeley is reluctant to lift the cap because the money to pay for the lifted cap has to come from somewhere ... and UC Berkeley is asking the feds to *require* that UC Berkeley lift the cap?<br /><br />"I don't know if I can afford this, please make me do it ..." ????<br /><br />-Mark RouloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-11675951933239587832013-01-31T00:25:43.694-08:002013-01-31T00:25:43.694-08:00While that's true?

And I find it difficult to elieve that the number of college age students who exceed $400,000 in health care costs is so small as to be insignificant.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-71176925085873405172013-01-30T22:50:31.740-08:002013-01-30T22:50:31.740-08:00"He'd just enrolled in a UC Berkeley mast..."He'd just enrolled in a UC Berkeley master's program in city planning"<br /><br />City planning.
