[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it the schools responsibility to do this?  Why not go to a doctor in private practice?  I assume most people are on their parent's insurance if you are shipping them to an out of state school they have money to pay for insurance back home.  [/quote]

Because student health services is ON Campus.  For some college campuses, it might be a $20+ Uber ride to/from a doctor off campus.  Add in the time to do this and it can be costly in many ways.

Also time consuming -- I don't know if this is still the case, but when I was in college birth control needed to be picked up every month.  One of the reasons I went off it was because I it was hard to get to the on campus pharmacy at a time it was open to get my prescription filled.  No way would I have managed to get to an off-campus doctor AND an off-campus pharmacy every month, never mind the cost.  Also the fuss -- do you think 18-year-olds in new cities are confident enough to research and find themselves new private practice doctors?  I didn't know anyone in college who went anywhere for medical care except their pediatrician at home or the on campus medical center.[/quote]
