Pregnant women without insurance typically enroll in their state Medicaid program. 40% of all births in the U.S. are paid for by Medicaid. Mothers are covered for the 60 days post partum, too.
Newborns and children are enrolled in Medicaid and CHIPS. 43 million children are enrolled in these programs, including half of those on low incomes.
No infant or child is denied medical treatment because his/her parents cannot afford medical attention.
??? HowTF do affluent women enroll in Medicaid? And who pays for all the not-denied care?
If a person does not want insurance, why should I be concerned if they do not secure health care insurance till the last minute. the child will recieve any medical treatment it needs, let the parents pay out of pocket or owe the hospital.
The child will recieve medical attention.
??? HowTF does one secure child-only health care insurance for a child who is not yet born? Again who pays, and how does the parent insure against huge neonatal care bills?
Prisoner medical care has been paid for at the county and state level, unless it's a federal prison. States woke up and realized that by enrolling prisoners into Medicaid for insurance purposes will allow them to obtain federal funds to pay for it.
Not when he has no sources and references no sections of the ACA.
He suggests researching "qualifying event" plus "special enrollment period" but I didn't find that helpful as it turned up a ton of stuff about COBRA.
Someone else suggested that some drone (not knowledgeable about insurance) may have copied the rules for adult policies and pasted them into the rules for child-only policies.
Well you could release them for work so that they can earn the money to pay for their care.
I have no issue with denying medical attention to convicted criminals.
Don't like it? Make different choices.
Back when, in my early 20's, a group of us would meet each week for pizza. One of our recurring topics was, our retirement. We assumed there would be no funding for Social Security or Medicare and that the stock market would eat our savings. So we would contrive crimes we would commit to get convicted and receive 3 meals and a cot and unlimited medical. As the wine flowed, our crimes got more creative, or so we thought, at the time.

I presume there were no burger flippers (who would be hard pressed to save for retirement) in your group.
