Buying insurance, why not get a quote?

The Eyeopenerreports the Ryerson Students’ Union is deciding on its next health and dental insurance contract.

The RSU is divided between a pro-CFS Executive and a pro-independence Council. Many issues at the RSU involve some element of the CFS debate and insurance is no difference.

The pro-CFS side wants to sign with the CFS insurance plan, the pro-independence side wants to sign with Gallivan and Associates.

I’m not a fan of either insurance plan.

Frankly, with how lucrative student insurance plans seem to be, I question if students are actually receiving enough return on the money they put into these plans.

The amount of back scratching that occurs with these contracts is disgusting.

The fact that the pro-independence side is pushing for a non-tendered agreement reflects poorly on them and they should immediately reverse their position.
