One of the nation’s largest insurers said early Monday it would continue to follow some of the rules in the federal health law that are already in effect, including keeping young adults up to age 26 on their parents’ plans and ending lifetime dollar limits, no matter what the Supreme Court decides.
Sadly, UHC hasn’t hit a homerun here:
United stopped short of saying it would continue to accept all children, no matter if they had a pre-existing medical condition. The federal law says insurers cannot reject children up to age 19 simply because they have a medical condition.
I know I’m biased, but this is the part of “Obamacare” I’m most behind. As a US citizen and parent, I hope the Supreme Court upholds the law, but as a UHC member, I hope the company at least continues to do the right thing.
