that's the whole point.
that you haven't answered: why would they turn down free money unless they could prove the weight was a valid risk factor? Our contract (for any sale) has some very specific legal verbage in it, not because those problems show up at every site, but because they CAN show up and we have been screwed by them before.
If he's not risky, they would accept the money coming in for a baby that couldn't be expected to show up at the doc more than expected. It seems very unlikely that they would simply decide to turn down a baby because they wanted to.
Sure, it's probably crap that they can turn him down, but it's a business. They can do what makes them a profit. That's why we need something that can help people who fall through the cracks.
As health insurers escalate fight against reform, more bad PR... baby denied coverage, is too fat...
