Why did Emory institute a health insurance requirement for all students in Fall 2006?
Emory University has always strongly encouraged students to carry medical insurance. However, for several years we have been deeply concerned about our uninsured Emory students. When uninsured/underinsured students become seriously ill or injured, their academic careers are seriously threatened by substantial healthcare debt, disability or both. The University agrees, and now all Emory students across the university are required to have health insurance.
