The new superintendent of the Los Angeles school district, John Deasy, is calling for free health, dental, and eye care for any students in need. Considering this is the 2nd largest school district in the nation, it’s huge news and a big step for a student health insurance quote. According to the article “New LA Schools Leader John Deasy Calls for Student Healthcare” by Howard Blume on LaTimes.com, Deasy has no clear plan to pay for these benefits but he see this as a necessary benefit for students.
Deasy did say in an interview that he’s considering leveraging the district’s contracts with companies that offer health insurance to employees in addition to raising the profile of the issue to encourage philanthropic donations.
John Deasy takes charge of the LA Unified school district in mid-April and has a lot to take on as the new leader. There is a current projected budget deficit for the school district of $408 million that he will have to deal with in addition to leading the 2nd largest school district in the nation. Free health care for students is a huge benefit that would make the world of difference to the affected students and their families. Hopefully he can really make it happen in an effective fashion.
