As Affordable Care Act increased health insurance coverage, volunteering rose quoting : Newsroom

This analysis seems to suggest that communities-at-large can benefit from greater populations of residents enjoying the stability provided by health insurance coverage. This is the group most affected by the Medicaid expansion, which provided public health insurance for approximately 13 million uninsured Americans. Not only did we see it, but we saw it in a very robust manner."Research has shown that obtaining health insurance provides individuals greater emotional and financial stability. Researchers found that instances of self-reported volunteerism increased markedly among people in low-income groups who lived in states that enacted the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. Further investigation into indirect benefits of health insurance such as volunteerism and well-being could be affected by the current cloud of uncertainty around the fate of the ACA and Medicaid, Sohn said.




Many college students use their school's health insurance, but at Castleton University that could mean a costly trip if a student needs to use the nearest hospital. "I come from a country where health insurance is completely free," said Leenda Maraldi, freshman. When she arrived in America last year, she says her counselor advised her to sign up for the school's health care program. Maraldi says she wishes the school would educate students who are on the Vermont State Colleges' health insurance about what it does and doesn't cover. The university says 65 students are on the school's plan and most of those are international students like Maraldi.

UT's Sex Week, health insurance

UT administrators state that the majority of students chose to opt in for activities like Sex Week, and therefore they want to fund Sex Week. The Democrats, with no help from Republicans, produced a health care bill that can't last without making necessary changes and adjustments. This is a far cry from the statement that UT has given that when a student opts in, this means that they have chosen to support Sex Week. The fact is that students have chosen to opt in on a package of more than 200 social activities, one of which is Sex Week. The Republicans, acting strictly on their own, failed in their attempt to repeal the entire ACA and immediately replace it with another national health care plan.
