Not this one. She barely has a pulse rate, let alone an interest rate.

It was a health care shocker for college students in New Jersey who found out that they can’t buy low-cost health insurance at their schools because of the Affordable Care Act.
Now, they are at the risk of being without insurance, CBS 2′s Christine Sloan reported.
Alex McTaggert is majoring in Computer Science but even he is having trouble signing up for health insurance on the Federal website.
“It said, ‘info you entered is not valid’ so I have to call this number,” McTaggart said.
For Carolina Mendonca it was easier to put together a creative Halloween costume than it was to call the number on the website.
“I got no answer so I left it for another day and the other day never came and I went to the dentist yesterday and I have to pay $2,000 out-of-pocket,” she said.
Many students have found themselves in health care limbo this semester. Community colleges in New Jersey used to offer cheap health insurance for hundreds of dollars a year but they had to drop the practice because Federal Law prohibits the sale of bare bones policies.

Students like Carlos Arias depended on the low-cost health care.
“I’m kind of healthy right now but I am worried that when something happens I’m not going to go to the hospital,” Arias said.

Obamacare has nothing to do with dental.
These LIVs voted for Obama because it was cool. They refused to listen. Now they’re being hit with a big dose of reality. I laugh at them.
Nobody talks about what the premiums will cost for those “under 26” kids.
Nobody told me I had insurance when I was in college.
Those are great photos of the white fools that Obama despises lining up to support him...

I thought they were quite representative. One can almost hear the wind whistling through their ears.
It's important to keep calling it Obama Care - not ACA.
Yes, there seems to be a subtle shift from ObamaCare to ACA, much like the move from global warming to climate change.
I pray for American to wake UP!
But since most of them have no/little income, won’t they be eligible for either medicaid or massive subsidies that reduce their payments to a low level?
I started at 16, junior year in high school. Like I said, it was REALLY nice to have my own money, NOT from parents. I always had had an allowance, which I worked for, but it came from parents.
I went to a state school in Newark; it was a commuter school where most people were working and there was no party scene (those “students” went to a different campus). Activists would occasionally show up with a loudspeaker trying to get a rally going for some cause or other, and the students simply ignored them.
The savages were literally blocks away, and would occasionally stray onto campus; there were few liberals in that environment. Sad thing is, I assume most of those students went on to leave the state...
Went to NCE in Newark in the early to mid 1970s. Worked in downtown Newark at Pru til ‘96.
Were you at Rutgers or NCE?
Rough area. Haven’t been back since I left.
Not if the parents don't want to. When my son went to UCSB they made him get insurance. I guess that insurance is not available now.
They aren’t covered for free, they still have to pay a premium. Their parents may not have been on a catastrophic plan. So they may have been hoping for a lower premium by signing up for the catastrophic plans that Barry and Empress Sebelius outlawed.
If they are students they probably have below poverty level income so won’t qualify for a subsidy. Wait, it gets better, last time I checked students are not eligible for Medicaid.
Rutgers; graduated mid-90s. Commuting there for four years while working full-time made me get the most out of my education; the environment was great motivation to study & learn...
Looks like most of the Navigators Obamacare funds.
And between her, Martin and Zimmerman, she was the brains of the operation.
