Feds reject ObamaCare open enrollment for pregnant women
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has denied a request from Democrats to create a special open enrollment period under the Affordable Care Act for women when they find out they are pregnant.
In a response to the March letter sent by Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee ranking member Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) with 36 signatures, HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell said the agency does not have “the legal authority to establish pregnancy as an exceptional circumstance†to create a special enrollment period.

It's like getting ****ed twice, only the second time isn't as pleasant. Thanks, Obama!

Oh bullshit. When has something being illegal stopped this administration from doing anything? They have an ulterior motive for denying this.

Wait a damn minute. Are people not supposed to have health care insurance under penalty of law?
