1. Preventive Care: It’s true that college students are
generally healthy, but it never hurts to get into the habit of taking care of
yourself on a regular basis
2. Pre-Existing Conditions: Although many college students are
less likely to have pre-existing conditions serious enough to be turned down
for insurance, there are still some that face this problem
3. Parents Coverage: Reminiscent of the days when a parent could
write a permission note for a child to skip school, the ACA has a permission
slip for students too–being able to stay on parents policies
4. Loan Repayment for Medical Students: There will need to be a
more primary care physicians. Funding is provided for the NHSC Loan Repayment
Program
5. Improved School Health Plans: University health plans aren’t
sufficient for serious accidents or ongoing illnesses. The ACA will require
medical loss ratios of 80-85% and eliminates lifetime caps
