Insurance costs expect to rise for UNM students
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The cost of health insurance for University of New Mexico student could increase as much as 30% next school year as the national health care overhaul is causing a rise in premiums in most student insurance plans around the country.
The Albuquerque Journal reports (http://bit.ly/KDsTfE ) that the increase in cost at UNM hasn't been set because the school hasn't yet selected a vendor for its health insurance plan.
But UNM student health and counseling director Beverly Kloeppel says colleges and universities nationwide have seen their student plans spike by anywhere from 20% to 30%.
The overhaul's provisions that affect student health insurance plans take effect in August.
