Study: Most JSU Students Have Health Insurance By Laura Johnson The Anniston Star January 23, 2012 JACKSONVILLE — Around two-thirds of Jacksonville State University’s students have private medical insurance, according to a report presented to the university’s board of trustees Monday. The study, done as trustees consider possible changes to the way JSU provides on-campus health care, offers a new look at the health care situation for the college’s 9,500 students. Before the study, JSU officials said they believed as much as 50 percent of the student body was uninsured. Last year, the university hired the firm Lassiter & Associates to survey students, faculty and staff about health care on campus.

Around 20 percent said they were covered by various smaller insurers. Read the full story from The Anniston Star>>
