Although President Clinton's health-care
plan and other proposals have stirred a great
deal of debate, many questions remain as to
what a national health-care system will mean
to a college student population tnat nas
changed dramatically in the past 20 years.
The U.S. Student Association and the
National Association of Graduate and
Professional Students haven't taken positions
| yet on any of the proposals put forth since
Clinton called for a system of universal health
care.
USSA, which lobbies Capitol Hill on issues
that alfect college students, plans a March 20
workshop to hear details of plans from representatives
of the Clinton administration, Sen.
John Chaffee, R-R.I., and Citizen Action, a
health-care lobbying group.
"We haven't heard that much about (students)
in any of the talk," said Stacey Shears,
who coordinates workshops for USSA. "We're
very curious about where we stand in the
scheme of things." I
. USSA will form a position on health-care
| coverage after the workshop, she said. The
NAGPS also intends to identify health-care
issues that are important to graduate and

tern that covers all subgroups. w
For example, most younger students are P1
covered by their parents' policies until they o
reach a certain age, usually 21 to 23. 111
However, older undergraduates who are ti<

new ones, graduate students working on o

private insurance carriers. Most colleges and p;
universities do offer some type of health-care N
coverage to these groups. in
Older, working students have the toughest in
time of it because health insurance is expen- aj
sive, their incomes are limited, and they also
tend to have dependent family members. ei

Pearson said, which means that some older
students with families who are going back to
school to finish or earn degrees could benefit
under Clinton's plan.
Although the Clinton plan has provisions
for federal subsidies for low-income families
and individuals, it's not clear whether graduate
students would be eligible for them. In
rhp nict fprlptnl nnlirv Kac hplrl fhot nroHnotp

students shouldn't be eligible for programs
such as food stamps because they voluntarily
place themselves in poverty to gain a college
degree.
"There is a huge question of whether graduate
students will be eligible for these subsidies,"
Pearson said.
Similar questions exist for research and
teaching assistants and part-time faculty, who
likely won't be considered part-time employees
because of increased costs. As employers,
universities would have to pay more for coverage
for part-time employees.
"Colleges and universities probably are
going to fight that," Pearson said.
In recent years, adjunct faculty increased
dramatically as colleges and universities

now make up as much as onethird
of the faculty in the United States,
according to some recent estimates.
Another unresolved issue is how out-ofstate
students will be covered if their parents
and their health-care alliances are located
elsewhere.
