Insurance committee approves student'
By Daniel West
Oregon Osify l fr&fikl
Student Senate confirmed Azra Rahim to the .Stu
dent Health Insurance Committee Tuesday night,
commenting that they wore impressed with her
involvement in tanipus activities and motivation.
"Everyone needs health insurance, especially
those that aren't covered by parents' policy or stu
dents with their own families." Rahim said in a brief
speech.
Rahim said that liecause student health insurance
was controlled by the administration in the past,
students paid higher prices for their medical care
currently the insurance committee comprise* stu
dents. the director of the Student Health Center,
international students and an insurants consultant
The committee is in the process of selecting* hot
ter health polo v for students I'heyTe consider
ing moving toward a Health Medical Organization
(IlMO) plan An HMO plan is a more comprehen
sive one that includes preventative < are It allows
students the opportunity to see a dot tor for regular
chot k ups instead of nisi when they an* sick allow
ing the doctor to cure the ailment before it escalates
into a serious problem.
The current student health plan doesn't cover
routine check ups. but it does provide coverage for
a wide array of medical costs, including the expense
of staying overnight if necessary. X-rays, lab tests,
medicine, surgeon and surgeon assistant foes, oper
ating room costs and pregnancy are also covered.
The current policy has restrictions against mental
and nervous disorders. Rahim said the current stu
dent health policy costs about $99 per student per
dependent.
"I've always known that 1 wanted to be in the
health field, so a friend recommended that 1 run for
the position." Rahim said.
Although she is very pleased with her new posi
tion, she admits that there are a couple of problems
that she plans to address. For instance, international
students must have health insurance in order to
attend the University, but this doesn't apply to
domestii students, even if they arc studying abroad.
Rahim is working on wavs to get feedback from
students in order to serve them better.
