Like every major university, UCF has an agreement with a major health insurance provider to provide students with health insurance at a discounted price ( ... )

From http://www.medsave.com/articles/University-of-Central-Florida-student-health-insurance.htm

"Universities generally prefer that students enroll in the school health insurance because it is easier to administer health care while students are on campus. Parents tend to be uncomfortable with university-based health plans because these tend to provide less protection for catastrophic events and limit access or coverage to top-quality specialists outside of the plan's network. Presumably, in the event of a major medical crisis, most students would seek medical care in the home town of their permanent residence rather than the university community. A typical U.S. college student can improve their coverage and save $500 to $1,000 per year by providing their own health insurance rather than enrolling in the University-sponsored student insurance plan."

Something else to think about.

True. Medically, Tricare is a better route.

But if I were Margret, I would still go with the year of university health insurance as being cheaper and better than finding individual health insurance, while still ensuring that after graduation I would get to see my husband on a regular basis for the following two or three years.

And it's all a moot point if she actually DID get t-boned by an 18-wheeler, as auto insurance covers medical costs.
