Have you all seen this? Infant health insurance in OK
Re: Have you all seen this? Infant health insurance in OK
Unfortunately, you are reading that absolutely correctly. So, even though you have insurance from the state where you can add a child, it doesn't matter. Only during open enrollment, which could leave you with several months of no coverage. Several very crucial months.
I am confused. Surely no one would be stupid enough to sign something like that.
Right?
Mary Fallin did. I was never one to say she is smart, though...
Let's hope the lawmakers use their ability to turn over her signature in the next couple of months.
What the hell? If that law had been in effect when JJ was born, we would've been screwed because he was sick A LOT the first year he was around.
That just blows my mind.
That's what I thought it was saying, but I kept telling myself that was so ridiculous it couldn't be true. Seriously?
The governor's office did a good job of keeping this quiet. If people had known, I think there would have been a lot of backlash against her signing the rule. Why was it not in the Oklahoman or on the local news (or maybe it was and I just missed it?)? I have issues with it being an "emergency rule" written by the insurance commissioner's office, rather than a bill publicly debated by the legislature.
I think eliminating marriage as a qualifying event would make a heck of a lot more sense, if they had to something.
But this majorly sucks. I can't believe it hasn't been discussed more.
Yes! At least it's POSSIBLE that both parties had some option for coverage beforehand.
Gah, this makes me livid.
This makes me so angry I can't really form complete sentences. I think it's pretty obvious who owns Oklahoma's government.
