APNewsBreak: Adding a baby to health plan not easy
Source: AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — There's another quirk in the Obama administration's new health insurance system: It lacks a way for consumers to quickly and easily update their coverage for the birth of a baby and other common life changes.
With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers will still cover new babies, the administration says, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later on.
Right now the HealthCare.gov website can't handle such updates.
It's a reminder that the new coverage for many uninsured Americans comes with a third party in the mix: the feds. And the system's wiring for some vital federal functions isn't yet fully connected.

How is the Insurer covering new babies when they don't have information about new baby on policy?

More proof of the shortcomings of centralized planning.

3. Still better than having all those completely uninsured people.
If ACA were a Republican initiative, AP would be talking about how this difficulty is concern over making sure people get the right subsidy.
With another deduction, it can change how much you pay each month.
The GOP wants to subsidize people?
The AP would cover for the GOP in the exact same set of circumstances just...because?
That doesn't even make sense.

4. Ya, the AP is a rotten right wing rag less than a click above Fox News. They are right wing SHIT.
Apparently Michael Moore has become a rotten right wing rag as well.

How is the Insurer covering new babies when they don't have information about new baby on policy?
It used to work like this, one got married and placed on husbands insurance. If a honeymoon baby came about, and if the child was born a few weeks early, insurance would cover the baby but not the mother who were said to have a pre existing condition before the marriage.
I thought it strange as all other pre existing conditions for the wife but not if she had a baby too soon.
You or some of you must have at some time been to a family gathering and a new Bride announces he is Prego. Every female member over the age of 25 is now counting on their fingers the month the child will be born ----- [ strange fascination and curiosity as to if the bride was pregnant when wed] Baby comes early and the fathers side of the family feel resentment that their Boy was trapped into marriage when no such thing was true.
Ah, I wander away from insurance here, after 40 + years working with insurance most of the time I have seen it's ups and downs. We survived dependent care for the Military for years, we never knew if the "Doctor" was a 20 year old in training that was looking up your kazoo.

Say "He she it" a few times real fast

Adding a baby is easy.....if you have a "real" male and a "real" female.

9. **** off, AP
Republicans have invested so much in opposing the ACA, now they are rightly afraid of a backlash from the popularity of it. Having "to contact the government at some point later on" because now there's "a third party in the mix" is a pathetic attempt at "see, we warned you!" **** off, AP; people are beginning to realize that despite the instantiation problems, this is an important and significant program.
You and your impotent rage. Telling a media giant to "**** off." They must be quaking in their boots.
Instantiation: Although it is a real word, you have used it in a Nadinesque manner, genius of the internets.
And no, we're not the least bit afraid of a backlash from the "popularity" of it. Keep thinking that, princess.

Popularity? :rofl:
Guess the poor DUmpmonkey hasn't read enough, or can do math.

Why do they need to cover new borns, abortions are already provided.

I'm not sure I see your point.

So the OB covered for them the entire pregnancy then?

Don't even try lurker, it will just give you a headache.
Back to the topic at hand. Didn't it ever occur to any of you that babies can't vote?

:lol: Guess it is a problem for some to understand.
One male and one female married--The woman decides she wants to become a male, she has only the top half of her changed and somehow gets her birth certificate changed to become Male. Now she is legally a male.
Somehow in the strange world some live in she becomes prego and decides to carry the child.
By law the mother is a legal male. Now what happens, What fun trying to figure this one out.
Not a new problem here, some years ago a women in the south was born to a white couple and someone checked the box under race as Negro. It took her 30 years to get the birth certificate changed. What was the problem, she needed a birth certificate to get a pass port, to get into college.
Born of German parents blue eyes and blond when she presented her certificate that said she was negro she was often arrested for having a false Certificate.
Now it is easy to change sex on ones certificate but a bitch to change race. Cannot be done for years if ever.
If your parents were born in Kenya and someone made a mistake on the certificate and put your race down as white-------I cannot imagine the problems the child will face in the future.
Things get stranger and stranger, we have a few Asians that marry white women in this country. When they marries what race is the child considered, Asian or white.
The Jews have the tradition of tracking race by the mother, good idea but what if the mother is of mixed race and the father also mixed race ?
What race is the child, No place on a birth certificate to check a Mongrel , born child, a child that has the DNA or perhaps 7 -8- races.
I am a proud Mongrel , why , I can think of no reason, what do I have to be proud of ???
I just have to sit back and hope my kids do there best regardless of the DNA that I as a mother had nothing to do with this.

it has now been longer than the former USA took to beat the Japanese and the stupid web site still doesn't work.
Solid B+ Mr. Obama. Now on to some important stuff like closing a few lanes of traffic on a bridge.

True but your premiums just doubled to do that. that's a net loser for you DUmbasses that drank the Kool-Aid.
Never trust a democrat that would give you free shit.

Well, I heard there was a "man" born in Kenya and someone mistakenly put down "American" on his birth certificate.
I think he currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC, when he's not playing golf, on vacation, or generally f'n something up.

Anytime, which is rare, they don't get favorable attention on the aforementioned networks they say they are right wing media.
