Somehow it all makes sense.

Long Islander Cornelius Kelly found it would be no problem to secure a family plan for his wife and three older kids through New York’s health-care exchange, but his 18-month-old daughter was out in the cold. The baby would need her own insurance policy.
“I couldn’t believe what I was being told,” said the dad from East Quogue, in Suffolk.
Kelly said he was no fan of the Affordable Care Act, but when he received notice a few weeks ago that his current insurance plan was being canceled, he tried the New York State of Health Web site.

So 0bamacare *is* the junk healthcare insurance plan the Dems have been yelling about?!
avoiding infant mortality and complications costs?
I’m skeptical. The story needs more details. Why would the child need to be at least two?
I wonder why the baby is not covered? Did I miss the reason?
Birth control? Check
Abortion? Check
Babies? No
My guess would be because in a healthy infant/child, the healthcare costs for the first two years are greater due to well baby visits and immunizations.
That Obamacare family plan is substandard.
The only way to end this nightmare is for people to not buy into Obamacare.
Don’t feed this rotten system.
The baby will have to pay a penalty and will get an IRS audit.
Seriously, this infant-exclusion thing is not the case for policies in my state’s exchange. Also, the ACA requires coverage of newborn care, infant screenings, etc. so this is really strange.
Yep.
1. Demonize an existing working system.
2. Ram through bad legislation to “fix” the system
3. Crash the working system
4. Bemoan the failure of the “improved” system
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 until nothing functional remains of the original working system.
6. Impose a communist (government ownership and government control) or a fascist (private “ownership” but under government control) “solution”.
7. Skim all profits out of the system, sip French Champagne and nibble on Russian Caviar while watching the peasants squirm for entertainment.
Somehow it all makes sense.
The infant will need to sign up for the cradle-to-grave 0bamacare plan?
“Why would the child need to be at least two?’”
Yes, I saw this story earlier today; it makes NO SENSE. And no explanation is given.
Who knows? I’m not saying it’s not true, but it makes no sense.
Maybe it’s promoting abortion. If she hadn’t had the baby, they wouldn’t have the problem. If children can’t be covered until the age of two, don’t have any, visit your local abortion doctor. I don’t put anything past damn Hussein and his killer mind.
A woman on some show the other day pointed out that they say they need everyone to sign up between the ages of 18 and 34. Yet people between 18 and 26 can be on their parents’ plan. That eliminates half of who they need.
Terrible reporting. Why wouldn’t they investigate the reason?
Six deaths in the fist year per 1000 live births. My guess is there is also high morbidity (sickness.)
The baby can not be covered under a family plan? WTF??
