It is available by default to graduate students. You don't need to worry about the plan details. Additional dental insurance is available for a nominal cost.

There is a fairly good and very convenient medical facility on campus. This means a doctor's appointment doesn't eat up so much of your day.

MIT provides many health insurance options but it's all quite expensive and given that their compensation is below average the benefits package can be quite expensive.
