If they required me to carry health insurance while I was in college then I would have had to drop out. I'm low income, my parents didn't pay my way at all, worked fulltime, school fulltime, grants, loans. An extra bill even $50 would have forced me to quit. I lived my life on the bare necessities even my car was small & paid for & only spent $100/mo. on groceries-worked in a grocery store in which I got a discount on my food. This will force the low income to rethink going to college or the current ones to quit.
