Do community colleges offer med/dent insurance to their students

I was told that the community colleges in CA, offered free medical and dental insurance to their students. Could it be true?
--------------------
I don't think so, I know about 2 of the community colleges in the LA area and they charge a small Health Fee (like $30 a year), but that covers their on-campus health clinic -- things like testing blood pressure, STDs, etc. International students must have health insurance or buy insurance through the school which isn't especially cheap. It would be insane if they offered free medical and dental insurance! They only charge $20 a unit to their resident students, so a huge amount of the actual expense of the education is paid for by taxpayers. Taxpayers wouldn't be too happy about picking up medical insurance too! Here is some info, most community colleges probably have a similar program: http://www.glendale.cc.ca.us/AR/info/fee… (Not sure if they have minor dental too.) http://www.pasadena.edu/studentServices/… http://www.pasadena.edu/studentServices/…
