This spells out a sad, sad commentary about insurance companies in America. "Sad" is really not a strong enough word to describe the people who deny health coverage based on silly, trumped up reasons.
Perhaps the American public needs to weigh these bean-counters at the insurance companies and deny them their paychecks if we don't like the result...
I'll say it again: we are currently caught in a sad state of affairs when an insurance company will mess over an innocent being.
God help the kid if he does come down with DM or have asthma -- it'll all be a "preexisting condition" and they won't pay a dime.Shakespeare said, "First, kill all the lawyers." But that was only because they didn't have insurance companies back then....
or HTN, or heart disease, or arthritis...!
Well, this reminds me of a scene in the movie Bruno: when the parents were willing to have their babies undergo diet or surgery to lose weight and being casted for a "commercial". The sole idea of putting a baby on a diet was outrageous, albeit funny.
Now this insurance company is giving "outrageous" a whole new dimension. It seems that greediness (and stupidity) have no limit, and obviously this is not the CEO's child.

just a quick recap for those that dont want to read the article... a 4 month old weighs in at 17#'s and his parents insurance company denies him coverage because of him being obese!! He was almost 9#'s when he was born and now he is considered obese. wow, I think this is ridiculous... just wanted to share and see what everyone else thought. I do think its terrible when children are obese and I normally blame the parents BUT... a 4 month old who is breastfed???? I mean seriously...
What do yall think??
