A RESOLUTION
WHEREAS:

Surveys and statistics on the UCB campus indicate that
approximately 10-15% of students attending the University of
Colorado Boulder Campus (approximately 3500 enrolled students)
have no health insurance coverage to supplement the services
provided at Wardenburg; and,

WHEREAS:

The Executive Council, UCSU, finds this large number of
uninsured students unacceptable; and;

WHEREAS:

Financial and medical reasons are among the major
causes of students leaving school.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Executive Council of the University of
Colorado Student Union, THAT:
SECTION 1:

UCSU Executive Council resolves that a mechanism be developed
whereby students at the University of Colorado Boulder Campus
should have medical insurance to supplement health care available
at Wardenburg Student Health Service and to offer protection
against financially catastrophic medical expenses.

SECTION 2:

It is also resolved that absolute freedom of choice of
health insurance plans be an integral part of the program and that
a mechanism for waiver of insurance on an individual basis be
incorporated into the plan.

SECTION 3:

Executive Council will approve all recommendations concerning
insurance coverage and fee-waiver systems.

SECTION 4:

Health Board will establish a mechanism whereby an individual
may waive any and all requirements for medical insurance
coverage.
