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.

this could never happen. the US has the best healthcare because the
rich are always covered. and texas is the most pro life state in the
union so they would never have allowed a baby to die....

oh..wait...this wasnt an abortion so they really don't give a ****.

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?

the attitude of the right is that the baby deserved to die.

it wasnt rich

its parents were middle class so deserve nothing

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.

notice how the right hates the middle class so much they're willing to

how the hell does a newborn baby have a 'pre existing condition'? and

Don't hate them at all, just don't like the abuse and freeloading. Which
this case highlights perfectly. 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.

This is a pure case of some low lifes freeloading. Playing the sympathy
screw for parental negligence. Not having insurance and then when they
have a problem they subscribe.

Just jacks the rates for the rest of us.

Nope. Should have saved the kid, jailed the parents in debtors court.
Obviously the parents would not mortgage their home and persue it
legally, they don't have a case. And they can't really persue this type
of abuse.

this is why we need socialized medicine


In a weird sort of way, I agree. This was a tragic neglect of parents
that should not be allowed to happen. But it happens all the time as
they think they can cheat the system and get others to pay for it.

Pretty obvious far too many parents have this problem with home
economics. Time for these people to be forced to pay and do without so
they pay for their needs, including heath care.

Now think of the millions who get jobs with health care when they think
they need it yet as soon as they don't... Too much free loading.

he just said he wants dead babies to punish freeloading parents.

uh...so what? so the baby dies. just punishment, eh? more dead middle

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

happen in other countries?

you right wingers have no answer for this, do you? other countries
have better healthcare, universal, at lower cost

BUT...because it's socialized, you'd rather have children die than
admit your fundamentalist faith in the free market HAS to be right

even when it's wrong

should we at least pay for coffins to bury dead children? would the
right wing support THAT?

or is that freeloading, too?

The hospital did operate. The baby died anyway. 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.

well that's not really the question is it? why is this even necessary
to address when socialized medicine will solve the problem?

the free market has failures. they're called 'externalities'. there's
even a term for it.

but the right has a fundamentalist faith in an unregulated market, so
they're willing to sacrifice someone else's children...the market is
their god and they're willing to use child sacrifice to placate 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

kill 'em. hell, why not just shoot the babies of the poor...gas

and if it jacks the rates for the rest of us...then why doesn't this

you right wingers have no answer for this, do you? other countries
have better healthcare, universal, at lower cost

BUT...because it's socialized, you'd rather have children die than
admit your fundamentalist faith in the free market HAS to be right

even when it's wrong


Now think of the millions who get jobs with health care when they think
they need it yet as soon as they don't... Too much free loading.


should we at least pay for coffins to bury dead children? would the
right wing support THAT?

or is that freeloading, too?


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? That whole

Houston Tracy was born in Crowley, Texas, and unfortunately only lived
for a total of 10-days after he was denied coverage by BlueCross

The baby boy was born with a condition that is known as
d-transformation. This is diagnosed when there is a transposition of the

This can be fixed, but a major surgery is needed, one that the insurance

Since they considered his disease as this, they refused to cover the

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.?

No way Blue Cross should have to pay. And no way the hospital should be

Get the government to pay for it then sell off the parents as slaves to
settle the debt. Their negligence is the cause. Simple as that.

Nope. Should have saved the kid, jailed the parents in debtors court.
Obviously the parents would not mortgage their home and persue it legally,
they don't have a case. And they can't really persue this type of abuse.

this is why we need socialized medicine


In a weird sort of way, I agree. This was a tragic neglect of parents
that should not be allowed to happen. But it happens all the time as they
think they can cheat the system and get others to pay for it.

Pretty obvious far too many parents have this problem with home economics.
Time for these people to be forced to pay and do without so they pay for
their needs, including heath care.

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.

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.

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.

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.


Who refused to treat the baby?

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

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.

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

fake spitting incident turned into a week of sillyness by the dems.

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


I agree that you should kick those parasitic health insurance companies to
the curb and have a government supplied universal health care system.
The question is...what's the fairest & most efficient way to pay for it... a
national sales tax..... an increase in income tax.... or premiums colected
from anyone who reports an income?

Don,
Why do you care what the US does? You don't live here. Just between
you and me, you need to get your butt out of my butt, it is hard to walk.

And you can't/won't answer a simple question if you are not going to
like the answer because, every dem is good, every repub is bad..
In case you missed/ducked my question for the last two days, here it is
again, if reference to the fake spitting incident the day health care
takeover was passed..


Is there proof that this is republicans doing this, or in your
intolerant, bigoted words, "teabagger sorts"? By your own bar, I am
looking for criminal convictions and nothing less.

Because I found an organization up here to act as a middleman with me
and the hospital, instead of using his wife as he suggested last year. I
am paying my bill and his wife doesn't get a cut of any of that money.
You know how Harry operates, he skims off the middle, it's what he as a
retired union hack, does...
