<div><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear fellow members of the Louisiana Council of Graduate Schools:<br>
<br>
Do you provide health insurance to US graduate students who are over 26 (the age at which a student is no longer covered on the parents' policies)? Our international students have a group policy that costs ~$130/month but US citizens have none. I checked with
our Student Life office and was told that the group was too small for us to negotiate a good rate. I wonder if we will have more clout as a group.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu<br>
