It doesn’t make sense to me that she would have to cover her own insurance over the summer if she continues funded research as a graduate assistant during that time. University employees get the subsidized rates.
UMD’s DPPO covers 70% of costs for fillings and 50% for crowns, after a $50 annual deductible, and up to a $1500 annual maximum. Costs could still add up, but that seems like more than just a slight discount. Obviously what insurance covers will vary from school to school, but that information is generally available online.
I’m not saying you didn’t get screwed. Wisdom teeth complications suck; I’ve dealt with some myself. I’m just saying that’s not a given for all graduate programs, and it’s not necessary to assume that it is.
