That was what Speaker Pelosi said on March 10, 2010.<\/p>\n

One day after the Senate’s mammoth, 2,700-page health bill became law, the Associated Press has*discovered the <atitle="http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/Gap-in-health-care-laws-apf-4272209396.html?x=0&.v=1" href="blocked::http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/Gap-in-health-care-laws-apf-4272209396.html?x=0&.v=1">legislation doesn’t deliver on a key promise.<\/p>\n

Despite*repeated*assurances that the measure would provide immediate health coverage for children with pre-existing medical conditions, it doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Just two days before the crucial House vote,*at*his*nationally televised pep rally for the bill, President Obama promised: “Starting this year, insurance companies will be banned forever from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions.”<spanid="more-29732"><\/span><\/p>\n

Meeting with House Democrats the next day, he forcefully reiterated the claim:<\/p>\n

This year … parents who are worried about getting coverage for their children with pre-existing conditions now are assured that insurance companies have to give them coverage — this year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You’ll recall that, on March 10, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced:<\/p>\n

We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It seems even the president had to wait until after passage to find out what was really in the bill.* Turns out,*some kids with pre-existing conditions will have to wait, too.* Another four years.**The iron-clad guarantee of coverage*won’t kick in until then.<\/p>\n

Notes the Associated Press:* “Full protection for children would not come until 2014, said Kate Cyrul, a spokeswoman for the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee…. That’s the same year when insurance companies could no longer deny coverage to any person on account of health problems.”<\/p>\n
