By now, it’s obvious to the meanest intelligence that ObamaCare rips off seniors. Some of my posts on this subject can be found here, here and here.
But, for most people, it’s less obvious that the new “reforms” will do considerable harm to children as well. Commenter “ECM” points out this in the WSJ:
One of the largest union-administered health-insurance funds in New York is dropping coverage for the children of more than 30,000 low-wage home attendants, union officials said.
Why?
The union blamed financial problems it said were caused by the state’s health department and new national health-insurance requirements.
And the damage doesn’t end there. Michelle Malkin reminds us that insurance companies in several states have been forced to drop child-only health plans:
Insurers across California, Colorado, Ohio and Missouri have dropped child-only plans because of Obamacare-induced premium increases.
The perversity of this is particularly poignant when one considers that ObamaCare mandates the coverage of “adult children” up to age twenty-six.
So, as the President promised, you get to keep your coverage if you like it—-unless you’re old person or a child. Wow, thank goodness for these swell reforms!

More of the “social justice” purportedly achieved by Obama Care, over which the AMA and the American College of Physicians practically dislocated their shoulders with self congratulatory back patting.
