The user Meister is a medical student NOW I think. So it doesn't make sense for him to be on medicaid b/c to my knowledge MOST schools required you to purchase their medical insurance. The school AUTOMATICALLY bill you for their insurance...so I do not see why he would need medicaid for him or his family. The school offers medical insurance to the student's and all their family members. It makes no sense for any student to be on medicaid b/c schools offer medical coverage, actually REQUIRE medical coverage. I guess he must have declined the coverage to be on medicaid just to save some $$$ on student loans.
Novel idea: not every school requires that you buy medical coverage!! We have the option to buy it, but it's not required. And it's okay coverage for a student, but it's not very good coverage for a student's family, and it's very expensive.
My friend's husband went on her student insurance for awhile. Her visits were free at the health center, but his were over $100 bucks. With kids, that can add up to a lot quickly.
