Bliues deny coverage to ill newborn baby
Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - A ruthless health insurance company denied
coverage to an ill newborn baby in Texas, resulting in the death of the young boy. Houston Tracy was born in Crowley, Texas, and unfortunately only lived for a total of 10-days after he was denied coverage by BlueCross BlueShield of Texas. The baby boy was born with a condition that is known as d-transformation. This is diagnosed when there is a transposition of the heart’s great arteries. This can be fixed, but a major surgery is needed, one that the insurance company would not pay for. The baby boy was born on March 15th with what BlueCross BlueShield of Texas deemed a pre-existing condition. Since they considered his disease as this, they refused to cover the health care of the baby boy. What this meant is that the boy was not able to get the surgery, and unfortunately died less than two weeks after being born. Could you imagine what it felt like for his parents, Doug and Kim Tracy, to be told that their son was not going to be covered? This is an absolute tragedy to say the least and one which health insurance companies should be absolutely embarrassed about. Under the new health care initiative from President Barack Obama, health insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage to infants due to “pre-existing conditions.” - - What the Blues are practicing is "Republican" health insurance...you know, the right to life until you are born and then...buzz off. |

The hospital and doctors there are to be highly commended too. Can't pay? *Then die. I expect these stories to continue, and add impetus to accelerating improvements to the flawed health care bill. We can only hope you die of a horrible, UNcovered illness, troll. |

The baby boy was born on March 15th with what BlueCross BlueShield of Texas deemed a pre-existing condition. THAT'S cool!! what a neat trick..call it a pre existing condition on a new born... but we have the best medical care, right? Under the new health care initiative from President Barack Obama, health insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage to infants due to “pre-existing conditions.” the attitude of the right is that the baby deserved to die. it wasnt rich its parents were middle class so deserve nothing |

Babies do die because of this. Is what JFK and Jackies baby that died shortly after birth died of. And they had all the health care money could buy. |

As for insurance, the parents didn't carry any on themselves, but they did carry insurance on their other children. A dirty little secret, even for those with insurance, a major illness is the number one cause of bankruptcy in this country. Hopefully, with this new legislation, that will change. |

So let me ask, if this was a precondition, did they jump on health care after getting the ultrasound that showed defects? You know, subscribe by convenience? That is, not subscribe until they needed it freeloading? Sorry, the parents here are to blame. They should have being paying up long before even getting knocked up. Just the kind that should have a 40% flat tax on their income unless they can show health care coverage as to prevent their attempt at abusing the system. Then perhaps your rates will not go up so quick. Too bad you couldn't charge the parents for wreckless welshing. If on the other hand Blue Cross was in force before conception, let them sue the asses off of Blue Cross. I would give them $100 million if this were the case. But I suspect it is not the case. This really smells like taking out a life insurance policy after death has occured. Some people still call it fraud. -- -------------- Politicians don't provide anything, the tax payers do. |
