Insurance company denies coverage to breastfeeding 4 month old infant because he is "obese"

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Generally speaking - under national healthcare, the only time the kid would be "taken away" from a parent (read: when social services would get involved) is if the doctors examining the child found evidence of some sort of abuse.

The bureaucracy as such, doesn't get involved at all in that respect.

The problem is is that the constituency that the health insurance companies court, the Marc's of this world, really do believe that a government plan would take the baby from the mother in instances such as these.

CPS would be there in a heartbeat ... to protect the baby from the abusive parents ...

Really? Where are they then? CPS exists with or without a government plan.

Yeah - cause of all the donuts and fries the mother is forcing down the throat of the baby

They believe such things not because there is any evidence that it's true, but because they have a 'gut instinct' for what such a plan would be like even without knowing any facts. You can't really make an argument that will convince this constituency of anything, except that government is an unnecessary evil so why bother?

I'd suggest deporting the small government freaks to Somalia, but seeing all those black people would make them piss their pants. I guess we're stuck with them.

The Somalians deserve better.

Yeap. It's to small government conservafreaks what Ibiza is to British kids with a drinking problem.
