Kaiser Health News is reporting that schools are beginning to experiment rolling their student health plans into Medicaid.
Funny how this same class of "young invincibles" that are necessary for the ACA to work are being given every possible incentive not to buy their own health insurance. First, it was the extension of staying on parents' health plans. Now, colleges are signing students up for Medicaid.
It would also be interesting to see how HHS accounts for these "new" health plans. Even individuals that previously were on plans but then lost coverage due to the ACA are counted as "new" when they get an exchange-approved or Medicaid plan.
