Governor Doyle will be at the UW Welcome Center (21 N Park St, next to Smith Hall) tomorrow morning (Wednesday the 28th) at 10:30 to sign Assembly Bill 280.
"AB 280, also known as Michelle's Law, mandates that every health insurance policy that provides dependent coverage for a person because he or she is a full time student must continue to provide coverage for the person if he or she ceases to be a full time student because of a medically necessary leave of absence. The coverage continuation begins when the person submits documentation and certification from his or her attending physician of the medical necessity of the leave of absence."
Look for some commentary from me tomorrow after the event, as I will be speaking to offer a student perspective on the necessity of this bill. Join the College Dems at the Welcome Center tomorrow at 10:30!
