Were only two days into ObamaCare and were already finding out its not as advertised. President Obama lauded the bill for immediately barring health insurers from taking childrens preexisting conditions into account. However, it turns out that the bill doesnt actually do that. Insurers will still be able to refuse coverage to new child applicants, although insurers cannot refuse to pay for children already on their plans. The White House and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius quickly pledged to fix the flaw with new regulations.
This incident offers a window into our new existence under ObamaCare.
