Insurer Changes Mind: Fat Baby to Get Health Coverage

Insurer Changes Mind: Fat Baby to Get Health Coverage - Children's Health - FOXNews.com

A Colorado insurance company is changing its attitude about fat babies.
Rocky Mountain Health Plans said it will no longer consider obesity a "pre-existing condition" barring coverage for hefty infants. The change comes after the insurer turned down a Grand Junction 4-month-old who weighs about 17 pounds. The insurer deemed Alex Lange obese and said the infant didn't qualify for coverage.
