Some Texas State Students may be in for a shock when they try to enroll for fall classes. Texas Representative Vicki Truitt (TRUE-IT) has authored House bill 18-75, requiring all full-time students enrolled at colleges and universities to be covered by a health insurance plan. According to the Assistant Director of the Student Health Center, more than 25 percent of Texas State students are uninsured. Truitt's proposal is being debated this week in Austin.
