I just looked at Freight Runners "intern" SIC program. In between heaves as I restrained myself from vomiting, I noticed the program requires a person to provide proof of health insurance.

I was wondering, is this because an "intern" SIC is technically an employee, and so to skirt paying medical benefits a person must provide this on their own?

Proof of medical insurance is a very unusual item on a work application, at least to me it is.
