This is why the health care reform debates must happen. It's ludicrous to think that the insurance companies can deny coverage to an infant because they are in the 99th percentile of height and weight. An infant. Who lives on breast milk alone. Talk about making it real to people.

Rocky Mountain Health Plans medical director Dr. Doug
Speedie explained that their decision was based on current industry
standards. " If health care reform occurs, underwriting will go away,"
he said, referring to the process that insurers go through when they
decide whether to accept or deny someone for coverage. "We do it
because everybody else in the industry does it."
