Health Insurance

Many choices depending on personal budget

It covers dental and vision

I have no issue about the Health Insurance at all.

It is good enough for a graduate student. You also have the free annual check. You might have to copay for the dental, however, this might be quite common.

Good doctors and medical care under the UC Care plan. Only place to get treatment is UCLA medical center, not convenient to my home, but is to my work.

The greatest asset is having the UCLA hospital just a walk away with all their specialists and talent, but the costs are still very high.

Very comprehensive health insurance, and you are constantly surrounded by medical doctors because of the proximity of the UCLA Ronald Reagan medical center.

Well you have access to some of the best care in L.A. However some treatments, when not fully covered by insurance, are outrageously expensive, even compared to other hospitals in L.A. (not looking at the cost of such care in other lower cost-of-living areas in the country).

You have the choice between HMO and PPO options, with their separate benefits and costs.
