Stanford University, which has an $8.6 billion endowment, is encouraging its students to go on welfare. As a cost-cutting measure, the university is canceling its HMO contracts; it expects the cost of medical insurance for dependents will go up by as much as 60%. A flier, which Stanford's student health center distributed with a letter announcing the change, notes that one option for students who can't afford the new health plan is Medi-Cal, California's version of the Medicaid program, which provides health care for the indigent. http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/
