The Obama administration, aiming to encourage health insurance companies to offer child-only policies, said Wednesday that they could charge higher premiums for coverage of children with serious medical problems, if state law allowed it.
Earlier this year, major insurers, faced with an unprofitable business, stopped issuing new child-only policies. They said that the Obama administration’s interpretation of the new health care law would allow families to buy such coverage at the last minute, when children became ill and were headed to the hospital.
In September, the administration said that insurers could establish open-enrollment periods — for example, one month a year — during which they would accept all children.

The imbeciles who passed this anti-freedom monstrosity as using it as expected: put your finger to the wind, see which way it is blowing and make exceptions to curry political favor. Thius is disgusting. Vote! Vote them OUT!

What an ignoramous. Barry thinks everyone is as stupid as he is.
Bump.

New title :"Obama lets evil greedy insurance companies discriminate against sick children. This makes me sick :)
Think if McCain or Bush did this.
At this rate, Obama is going to end up repealing Obamacare all by himself.
