Daily Non-Fail
Feb. 11th, 2010 03:23 pmFrom an email I (and everyone else) received today from the university admin:
Dear Student,
I am writing to let you know of important changes in health insurance offerings for students and their dependents, effective September 2010.
Cardinal Care student health insurance plan:
Cardinal Care will be more affordable -- its cost will go down 4% to $3072 per year.
A new insurance carrier, Health Net of California, will provide the medical benefits.
Benefits will remain comprehensive, with the same access to Stanford University Medical Center.
Transgender surgery will be covered for the first time.
I didn't know that my university insurance didn't cover that in the first place, and I don't know what motivated the policy change. But it's nice to think I go to a school that makes efforts to try to support its students and make more choices available to them. Especially since the next email down was a list of tips for trans allies from the queer/feminist studies mailing list.
