Simon Says: Spartan Care for All!

April 30, 2012

The administrative bureaucracy is at it again. As of next fall, Michigan State University is mandating that each of its nearly 48,000 students purchase health care insurance.

That is right, folks, the People’s Republic of Sparty is carrying water for Obama, the looming Supreme Court ruling notwithstanding.

But that cannot be true, can it? Look no further than this excerpt from the student government propaganda piece to find out:

Spartans, did you know that beginning this 2012-2013 academic year, all students enrolled in MSU will be required to have health insurance? It is important to be aware of the upcoming changes and make sure that we are prepared. MSU offers a student health insurance plan through Aetna which has good coverage but it is important to know that you have options. ASMSU offers you affordable, quality alternatives which provide the coverage you that need and at a prices that you want [sic]. In a side-by-side comparison our plans, including the ISP plan is the best option for both affordability as well as range and flexibility of coverage.

These plans are customizable to the student and whether you are an international student or looking to get off your parents insurance, we can help you find what you are looking for. If you have any questions, concerns or need help getting started, contact the ASMSU Health Intern atspartanhealth@asmsu.msu.edu. We are committed to connecting students with their options, and ensuring that we bring to student attention those alternative options which are competitive in affordability without sacrificing health coverage.

See what I mean? Even the student newspaper editorial board is against the terrible measure.

If we are compelled to abide by the arbitrary policy preferences of elite administrators, who is to say we won’t be forced to use birth control? Women must be on the pill, men have vasectomies. There is no stopping the madness.

And that is not all. ASMSU, the student government assemblage, is pursuing a resolution to encourage gender-neutral housing assignments on campus. The male-female dichotomy is becoming blurred in East Lansing. What’s next? Gender-neutral restrooms could be on the horizon.

Students will be prevented from enrolling in courses merely because of their lacking the purchase of a service. Education takes a back seat to the liberal-regressive agenda.

Tyrannical rule from the top-down is wrong for the student community – and it is wrong for America. Apparently President Lou Anna K. Simon does not believe in individual liberty.
