He said for zero-deductable full coverage it would be around $35-50 per month for both my wife and I.

I am actually not 100% sure why. BYU doesn't elaborate on its website. I have done only a little searching online for the answer and from what I can tell there could potentially be a number of reasons (including out-of-pocket limits, deductibles, coverage of certain preventative care, etc.). Again, I am still foggy on this. If anyone knows more, please chime in.Adam B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13635630634832831355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773703444331042188.post-74706417158624930472015-08-31T04:22:43.439-07:002015-08-31T04:22:43.439-07:00Thanks for saying absolutely nothing about WHY it ...Thanks for saying absolutely nothing about WHY it didn't qualify as an ACA policy.

We've been out of school/BYU insurance for a year and a half, but my guess is that it's partly related to BYU insurance not covering contraceptives. Maybe also having a high deductible for maternity coverage for non-student spouses ($6,500)? But I agree it won't affect most people. The vast majority student families I knew were covered by medicaid anyway (only way they could have afforded to have kids, especially in programs where working during the school year is prohibited). BYU insurance was *not* great for families. mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221098511883483823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773703444331042188.post-37547031630220388642015-08-28T15:19:15.284-07:002015-08-28T15:19:15.284-07:00Adam, if you don't have insurance on the 31st ...Adam, if you don't have insurance on the 31st they'll kick you out of school for the day, brand you a heretic, and burn down the law school because we are malcontents. After which, they will hunt each and every one of us down and force us to fight in a battle to the death. They will televise this on BYU TV. The winner gets to stay in school. The losers die and still have to pay their tuition.<br /><br />What they don't know is that we will come back from the grave, pass the bar and haunt all of them with ghostly wails saying things like: "Res Ipsaaa Locquitooooooooorrrrr" "Expressio Unius Est Exclusio Alteeeerrrrrriiiiiiiuuuuuussssss" and "ejusdeeeeemmmmm geneeeeerrrrriiiiiisssssss."Brian Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017171671241839883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773703444331042188.post-20358386240296082022015-08-28T12:56:41.920-07:002015-08-28T12:56:41.920-07:00Pahoran, my understanding is that as long as one o...Pahoran, my understanding is that as long as one of your policies qualifies, you're all good.Adam B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13635630634832831355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773703444331042188.post-59402169930331682052015-08-28T10:21:36.636-07:002015-08-28T10:21:36.636-07:00I assume that students who are still technically o...I assume that students who are still technically on their parents' ACA-compliant health insurance (and why shouldn't they be until they're 26 years old?) and who decide to purchase BYU health insurance as well for the convenience of having a local doctor will still be in compliance with the ACA despite this ruling.Pahoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688653823137624103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773703444331042188.post-89993510091734885032015-08-27T15:50:23.663-07:002015-08-27T15:50:23.663-07:00Oh, its worth sticking with BYU insurance if you l...Oh, its worth sticking with BYU insurance if you live like an active Mormon, definitely! You get the care you actually can use much more affordably because of the relatively low risk of the insured community. It's probably only "not approved" because they don't fund abortions or some other reason along those lines. If you are actually following the honor code, you can't get a better health insurance policy! I wish it were still financially feasible for me to be on it--I'm no longer a student. I'd keep it in a heartbeat if I could!
