Obamacare's new regulations would force the cost of the insurance at Bowie State in Maryland to rise from $50 to $900 a semester. Officials at one one of the nation's oldest and most elite historically black colleges are citing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as the reason they have cancelled a school-wide affordable health care plan they had offered students. International students will also lose their insurance, and they are not eligible for the exchanges.

This is going to be a HUGE problem at colleges and universities. Students are REQUIRED to carry insurance so that the student health service can get treatment for them from local docs and hospitals when needed. This will leave those local docs and hospitals on the hook for charges when international students are treated. Does anyone really think those parents in Korea and China and wherever else are going to pay those bill out of pocket?
