Student opinions at Riverside Campus

Do you have health insurance? Should the federal government get involved with health care?

"Yes, they should because millions of people and children have no health insurance, and nowhere to go except be sick. The government should step in and provide health care for those who can't afford it."

-Catherine Richmond, future student in Vocational Nursing and Surgical Technology who has health insurance through VA care.

"I don't really pay attention...I'm not really educated about stuff like that."

-Tyler Gros, Computer Information Systems major who has health insurance.

"Yes and no, maybe. We need more than a band-aid on health care. It's been let to run ‘free' too long."

-Mark Abelli, Archeology major who does not have insurance because it's too expensive.

"[Yes] to help other people, for people that can't afford it. Everyone, including young and old."

-Catherine Rodriguez, Early Childhood major who has health insurance through her parents.

"Yeah, kind of. It's too hard to obtain, people can't afford it."

-Ben Braten, Physical Therapy major who does not have health insurance because its not provided by either of his jobs, and he can't afford it.
