That's what gets me - it's not exactly "free." But you get what you pay for
Funny thing is, my family probably pays more for our health coverage than yours. And our coverage is likely much less than what you get
Hell, I freaking lose coverage if I take less than a full time load at my university. Somehow, being in school makes you less of a health risk despite all the extra exposure

Kahhn!!! My tuition is more than double that :/ And going up because the same Governor that pushed prop 1 cut $275 million from the Florida university system because of "budget crisis". Awesome, less people can afford to get a college education - so less people willing to ensure a college education is available for as many as possible.
Seriously, when did the stupid punch get served?
