Some good news for people in college who need to take some time off for treatment or to recover.
A new US law allows seriously ill or injured college students to take up to 1 year off for medical reasons and still keep their family med insurance. I'm not sure how severe your UC symptoms would need to be to qualify for this, but it's still a big step in the right direction.
