I am applying to PhD programs and recently had a question regarding finances. How much do you usually have to pay for the health insurance and fees each year? Would it hurt my chances of acceptance or receiving financial aid if I were to apply for a FAFSA to cover fees and health insurance? I'm on medication for epilepsy, so the health insurance in my graduate studies is fairly important aspect.

Has anyone who starts this Fall or those who are yet to graduate heard of the massive increase in student health insurance rates (mostly applicable to those with 1 or more dependents) this year? I am seeing hikes starting from a minimum $100 for 1 dependent. In my case, I planned a cash flow based on the stipend amount in my offer. Now this sudden hike means I have to cut down somewhere else in an already tight budget. Moreover the university administration has declined to negotiate with the insurance provider. If anyone is facing a similar issue, how are you trying to remedy the situation?
