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. 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. you're really sick but even you shouldn't be denied care You could also look at it as Obama has trillions for banks, bailouts but nothing for the babies. LMAO. Been in office for 15 months and nothing has changed. Keep worship your free lunch and Obama, T'il debt do you part... -- -------------- Politicians don't provide anything, the tax payers do. |

"hk" wrote in message m... I think " necessary health care" and "subsidized health care insurance" are two different things. Eisboch No "other words" are needed. I believe health insurance or a national health plan should be mandatory, and if you legitimately cannot afford the insurance, it should be subsidized for you and your family to the degree necessary. The hang-up I still have is the difference between a mandatory health insurance program and the right to free or subsidized (tax supported) health care for life threatening or disabling conditions. Mandatory health insurance puts another massive layer of bureaucracy, private or government, into the mix. When it comes to getting care, that has never been a good thing. A mandatory health insurance law is in effect here in MA. For those who can't afford the subsidized insurance (state programs) it is cheaper to pay the fine (assuming the state even enforces the collection of them, which I doubt.) Tough call. I guess my attitude is that those of us that are fortunate enough to be able to afford decent health insurance also have a moral obligation to assist those who need medical care (though a tax or increased insurance premium) for those who cannot afford insurance. But to subsidize health *insurance* programs is another matter. Eisboch |

What could be more pathetic than an asshole like Scotty here whining about health care insurance when he doesn't have any and as a result racked up a $25,000 bill at a local hospital that he will never pay off. I have no idea if Scotty has insurance or not or what his arrangement is with the hospital. That's his business and I am not interested in that specific discussion. However, doesn't the approved health care reform mean that you, as a person of means, will help pay for the care required by those who have no insurance for whatever reasons? I happen to agree with it. I thought this is what you have been advocating also. Why the criticism? No you are seeing the real goals of left. It is not equaling the playing field, it is tilting the playing field to their advantage. Scott will not be gracious enough to get on bended knee and thank the Democrat for their omniscience to grant the people such a great entitlement. Therefore, Scott must be silence, shunned and pushed into a corner. Sometimes I wonder about you Richard. Sure, you're one to "wonder" about Dick. Dick is successful, and a gentleman. You are neither. So who cares what you "wonder" about. Dick is generous and charitable, and you ain't. Look, Scotty doesn't want health care for all. Why? Since he's a known deadbeat for medical bills, he wouldn't be paying for any of it. In fact, it would pay for his health care. So what's left to justify his resistance to the idea of everybody being able to afford decent health care? He's either a mean sumbitch or just hates anything Dems do, even if it prevents the death of innocent babies. Which puts him back to mean sumbitch. Take your pick of mean sumbitch or mean sumbitch. What you can add to that is he is a medical deadbeat telling others what's good for him should be good for them. Just welsh on your medical bills, and have those with insurance take care of it. Because I'm the great political philosopher Scotty. You get that? It's simple and easy to understand. Made it that way for you. Jim - I don't like libs, and I don't like mean sumbitches or deadbeats. |

Tom, You seem to be the only one spoofing at the moment. Are you encouraging others to join in the fun? Or do you feel that you have exclusive rights to the practice because you were the pioneer and original spoofer. Scotty take note: Tom may be using someone elses name but he is speaking from the heart. |

Don't hate them at all, just don't like the abuse and freeloading.

Did you do further research? *Bet not. *Turns out these idiots didn't have health care on the mother and father as money there had different priorities. *Further, they sought insurance AFTER they needed it. uh...so what? so the baby dies. *just punishment, eh? more dead middle class kids...that's what the middle class deserves This is a pure case of some low lifes freeloading. and if we'd had universal healthcare like in more advanced countries the baby would have lived but you dont care. *you're right wing. if children die, so what? at least the rich stay rich and THEIR children will live Playing the sympathy screw for parental negligence. *Not having insurance and then when they have a problem they subscribe.

Why should Blue Cross pay, when the insurance was taken out after conception? *Why didn't the hospital perform the surgury gratis, under the charter? You best watch yourself talking about health care takeover again. It's been off the front burner for a week now and you don't want the dem leadership to start more stories about republicans do you?
