. . . does it exist?
They claim you can get it, and I'm sure I checked off a box somewhere when I became a graduate student, but I am under the impression now that it's not a "real" health insurance plan, and that I am only covered for accidents that happen while performing my duties as a university employee. If this is the case, it's bullshit.
Why would a university not want to offer insurance for that group of people that is least likely to be able to pay for health care, but active in doing the actual teaching work at the university?
I think I'll try to learn some more about this and get the word out--this may be something for the Graduate Student Association to make some noise about.
