Fat baby can get coverage after all, insurer says

This is why we need health care reform. The insurance industry has the power of life or death. This is what the Republicans want to protect: greed.

in reference to:

"Rocky Mountain Health Plans said Monday it will no longer consider obesity a "pre-existing condition" barring coverage for hefty infants. The change comes after the insurer turned down a Grand Junction 4-month-old who weighs about 17 pounds. The insurer deemed Alex Lange obese and said the infant didn't qualify for coverage."
