Pelosi, Other Lawmakers Urge UC To Lift Insurance Caps
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and nine other members of Congress have sent a letter urging University of California to lift lifetime caps on student health insurance. Although the Affordable Care Act prohibits such caps in most health insurance plans, it exempts "self-funded" college health plans in which universities take on the financial risk of medical claims.
