Colleges, state legislators and even federal officials are taking a closer look at how student health insurance and medical care is provided in colleges and universities across the nation.
In some cases, parents of college students are paying double the cost of health insurance for their children. And some children — who have insurance through their parents' health plans — are finding they aren't covered for services at their colleges at all.
Today, students at most four-year schools must show proof of health insurance as a requirement for admission. But, typically, when students show up at the school clinic for health care, they're told they can't use their private health insurance.
