Cowell Student Health Center Makes Insurance Affordable

By Don Bethune

Like a mid day temperature of late summer which is unbearable, we are experiencing the heat of bad economy in all walks of our life. Meeting the mere day to day needs of family members has become a difficult task.

What would you do if, in a time like this, a member of your family needed urgent medical care? If they did not have health insurance, the cost for hospitalization would be extremely difficult to bear. Would you leave them without the necessary medical care?

The only solution for these problems is to find affordable family health insurance coverage. In the USA, one of the world's most developed countries, people die every day due to lack of medical care. In the state of Michigan this is a very real problem.

"The Families USA Report" reveals that an average of two people die each day in Michigan alone because they cannot afford medical attention, and have no health insurance. Recent news reports indicate that over one million people living in Michigan have no health insurance.

People without coverage cannot afford preventative health care. They do go for regular visits to the doctor, they do not undergo health screenings, and they do not receive the care they need to prevent fatal illnesses. The health insurance sector needs to reform, to provide affordable health coverage to people from all walks of life.

Seeing this great need for health insurance coverage across the board, Cowell Student Health Center has developed a wonderful health insurance plan available to all college students. Cowell Student Health Center provides this as a service to the entire student community, offering affordability and peace of mind to those who otherwise would have to question whether or not they could afford health care.

The health center actively encourages every student to seek insurance either through them or with any other company. They are leading the way in the hopes that other companies will follow. Fortis Student Health Insurance is another good program for the student community.

Fortis provides health insurance for the duration of the time a person is classified as a student, and provides peace of mind to those students who are not already covered under a family plan. They have a unique international health insurance plan which covers students from places all around the world.
