Impeding changes to our Health Care system

[classicman]

Sorry to toss this in at this point in the discussion, but I think its warranted.

Some of the country's most prominent health insurance companies have decided to stop offering new child-only plans, rather than comply with rules in the new health-care law that will require such plans to start accepting children with preexisting medical conditions after Sept. 23.

The companies will continue to cover children who already have child-only policies. They will also accept children with preexisting conditions in new family policies.

Nonetheless, supporters of the new health-care law complain that the change amounts to an end run around one of the most prized consumer protections.

What really gets me about this isn't so much that they are doing it, but that in this gazillion page document, there wasn't a provision forcing them to do so. If you are gonna regulate, do it right at least. Another reason why single payer was the only way to go.
