Your school is expensive enough already without adding this "double-payment" of insurance requirement. Suggest to the student health center that they outsource billing to a company that would facilitate the acceptance of third-party insurance. This would send a signal to parents that Wash U understands the sacrifices parents are making to send their children to college.
