    58 KB Some insurers stop writing new coverage for kids Ned the Newshound !XBW.lrXjxw 07/25/10(Sun)15:37 No.1822409  
    Some major health insurance companies will no longer issue certain types of policies for children, an unintended consequence of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law, state officials said Friday.

    Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty said several big insurers in his state will stop issuing new policies that cover children individually. Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland said a couple of local insurers in her state are doing likewise.

    In Florida, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, and Golden Rule -- a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare -- notified the insurance commissioner that they will stop issuing individual policies for children, said Jack McDermott, a spokesman for McCarty.

    The major types of coverage for children -- employer plans and government programs -- are not be affected by the disruption. But a subset of policies -- those that cover children as individuals -- may run into problems. Even so, insurers are not canceling children's coverage already issued, but refusing to write new policies.

    collapse of current health care plans in the wake of Obamacare? Don't worry it's all according to plan. In case you didn't notice Obamacare was supposed to cause the collapse of the health insurance industry so that govt can take over. That was the plan from the beginning.

    But how much of that money actually gets donated towards that end?
    >> Anonymous 07/25/10(Sun)16:05 No.1822696

    A solid 10%, the rest goes towards other costs involved.

    Fascinating, where did you found this out because I doubted that corporations donate the full amount that they pledge.

    Do you have any details about the costs before the actual donation?
    >> Anonymous 07/25/10(Sun)16:14 No.1822757
    this only happened because children can now be covered even if they have 'preexisting conditions.'

    Before, insurers could choose not to cover sick kids (who need it most) because it would cost more money. Now, that's illegal. They have to cover everybody, regardless of if they have a preexisting condition or not. Sounds fair, and reasonable to me.

    Insurers have adjusted by not covering any children with individual policies [sick or healthy]. This doesn't affect group policies, which cover most families. Again, sounds fair and reasonable to me. If insurers don't want to cover children individually, that's their perogative. Free country, man.

    The public option is the obvious end goal here, it's the only way the idea of the government funding poor peoples' insurance makes any sense.

    They should've let it be debated in the bill discussion, but the GOP was in mass hysteria mode as usual.

    In addition Obama did not push it in fear of being labeled a socialist. Problem is that the conservative media and the Tea Party already begun the claims as soon as he announced a public option.

    anyways health care costs have been exploding for decades. When an illegal gets a 100,000$ operation to give him a penis pump, that's coming out of YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

    Obviously i do not want to throw away 40 years of progress(unlike liberals)

    However, without understanding the perverse and horrendous influence government has on health care due to regulation, licensing, taxation, and entitlements, then all your solutions are bound to fail.

    The same argument can be made for providing free health care via the emergency room to those who don't have health insurance.

    Wait a minute a 100,000 dollar operation to give him a penis pump? That is absurd! Unless you have proof that this has actually happened.

    So this one isolated case is simply enough to argue against providing assistance to health care for illegal immigrants. But what about illegal immigrants that had legitimate health problems?

    It is not "one" isolated case, and i full agree with you that mandating emergency rooms to take niggers and beaners is a failure of an idea.

    Liberals and government are the problem. They prevent solutions from being enacted, socialist health care is a failure.
