Drug rider hearing set
An open hearing to discuss drug benefits on student health insurance policies will be at 7:30 tonight in the Council Room of the Kansas Union.
The hearing is sponsored by the Student Health Advisory Board.
Steve Segebrecht, board chairman, said the Board wanted student comments and opinions on whether a prescription drug could be included in next year's policies.
This year's policy contains the drug rider, which pays for all prescription drugs and other medications.
The board recently conducted a random poll of student health insurance policy holders to find out their opinions on the drug rider. he said.
Questionnaires were sent to 640 policy holders and 334, or 53 per cent, were returned, Segebrecht said. Of those responding, 66.7 per cent favored keeping the drug rider and 33.3 per cent said the rider should be dropped.
Segebrecht said the board decided to have the hearing to give students who hadn't been paired a chance to voice their opinions, and to give students' questions on policy specifications.
