Is our baby too fat for health insurance?

Tuesday, October 13 at 8:16 AM




A 4 month old, 17 pound baby from Grand Junction, Colorado has been denied coverage.

A link to the story here.

I'm sure the insurance company denying the claims is getting sued by now, because that is exactly what I would be doing, if my wife's insurance company would not cover our 17 pound, 3 1/2 month old baby.

The insurance company in the article apparently claims they do not cover babies greater than 95% percentile of weight AND, GET THIS, that his weight is a pre-existing condition "obesity".

Really.......
