Join guest host Michelle Smith, URMIA’s Executive Director, as she interviews Liebe Meier Swain from Cornell University and Phillip Arrington from HUB International, who discuss how access to healthcare, especially mental health services, is linked to higher graduation rates. They highlight legislative changes, including Medicaid cuts and Affordable Care Act revisions, which may disproportionately affect vulnerable student populations, particularly those in rural areas and on Medicaid. They emphasize the need for campus-wide collaboration, proactive planning, and financial literacy to support students amid rising healthcare costs and shifting policies. Explore the evolving landscape of student health insurance and its critical role in student success in this episode of URMIA Matters.  Show NotesACHA - American College Health AssociationThe JED FoundationUS GAO Report: Students' Health Coverage Rates Have Improved, but Barriers to Coverage Remain for SomeAmerican Council on Education Healthcare Issue Landing PageAAU, Associations Raise Concerns on Proposed Medicaid CutsGuests Liebe Meier Swain, Director, Student Health Plan - Cornell University  Phillip Arrington, Vice President, Campus Health Solutions and SHIP Segment Leader - Hub InternationalGuest Host Michelle Smith, Executive Director - URMIA Connect with URMIA & URMIA with your network-Share /Tag in Social Media @urmianetwork-Not a member?
