President Obama promised that today, "insurance companies are forever banned from denying coverage for children with pre-existing conditions". Well, thanks to Obamacare, ALL children are now banned from individual health insurance coverage. The insurance companies made a business decision to discontinue ALL individual health plans for kids under 19. Children can now only be insured under a family plan. If an adult member of the family is un-insurable, too bad for the kid. Why did Obama assure perhaps millions of kids cannot get insurance?

Many insurance companies have stopped selling child-only policies because of the meddling government and their insistence that they know best.

NONO facts are not allowed. Don't you understand it was HISTORIC legislation. Never mind they never read it, even the guy that helped write it, and bribed members of their own party to pass it. It's HISTORIC dammit...or so every house and senate member that voted for it said.

Really. All those fully employed kids are out of luck, and those free-loader dependant liberal kids get to be sick on the dime of paying, producing citizens. How galling.

It is not the Healthcare Plans fault that the Insurance Companies only care about their profits. It, the plan, was trying to regulate insurance and get insurance for people who previously had been denied. You cannot 'spin' this saying the intent was to insure 'millions of kids' not getting insurance. The intent was good, if insurance companies are discontinuing plans for kids that is their decision and the blame needs to be place on their shoulders not the administration. And if this is the case, where is your proof, it just goes to show big business are unable police themselves and require regulation. IMHO

OH WAIT A MINUTE.. .. so You guys fought the Public Option which would have guaranteed everyone insurance...why, "because it would be an unfair business climate for insurers" even though every congressional study showed that a Public option would have the exact desired effect.. a price increase inhibitor.. where as health insurers are now increasing costs to consumers annually at 19%... Now What little teeth the HR bill did have after the friggin mill that both Big money Reps and Dems put it through.. Now.. The insurance companies who absolutely will not be trimmed or held back.. are dropping CHILDREN from their rolls as a "Gotcha" move ...its a travesty Oh No.. it's a Free Market and we are going to keep raising costs until a 3rd of American families Income will go to Insurance companies.. Oh you people are rotten to your Christian Cores.. you really are .. I MEAN WE ARE TALKING SICK CHILDREN HERE.... Obama tries to get them coverage and insurers say ...No? and you lampoon it as a Left right issue.. OMG.. you have me hopping here...

Rag doll-Yes, I'm movin', Yes I'm movin' get ready for the big time Tap dancing on a land mine Yes I'm movin', Yes I'm movin' Old tin lizzy, do it till you're dizzy Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery If you can't pass an all encompassing health care bill you have to pass a bill that forces Insurance companies to charge exorbitant prices so you will have a mandate to fix it.

Only a few companies. I hope you have others in your state. Obama kept his promise to pass that health reform but the insurance companies obviously reneged on their agreement to keep their end of the bargain after several meetings with the President and this was in the discussion last year. Only 3 or 4 companies have ended policies for children. They just did not want to lose any profit in spite of their increased premiums to cover those losses in recent months. They have no shame, no morals.
