Fox News suggested that new parents are unable to add their babies onto health care plans under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in order to stoke fears about the law, even though parents are able to add new dependents onto ACA plans by directly contacting their insurance provider. Fox called the process more difficult than going through labor.The January 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends purported to report that the portion of HealthCare.gov that would allow consumers to report major life changes -- such as having a baby -- is not yet online and available to consumers, airing a graphic claiming "Obamacare lacks easy way to add baby to plan."Co-host Brian Kilmeade attempted to explain the sign-up process by comparing it to labor: "A lot of people think having a baby's tough. Know what's harder?Under Obamacare, getting that baby insured. So labor might be easier than getting insurance paperwork done." But co-host Steve Doocy took it even further, claiming that new babies cannot be added to ACA plans, saying "You might have a new dependent who's dependent on you and dependent on health care, but right now, you can't put them in on the Affordable Care Act."
ok we know from it's inception any thing needed or not gets dealt with even with republicans calling Pres. lawless for responding to American's needs and wants while republicans ignore them, republicans as usual give half answers and statements leaving their base under informed and half cocked, and they spread the misinfo thereby misleading not only themselves but whoever listens to them.
In fact, having a child counts as a qualifying life event, that allows consumers enrolled in health insurance under the ACA to alter their coverage outside of the open enrollment period.Fox has previously attacked provisions in the ACA designed to aid pregnant women and new mothers, claiming that a ban on discrimination against women in the health insurance market constitutes "sticking it to men" and denying the need for improved access to maternity coverage -- while ignoring the benefits of improved maternity care under the ACA.
this is par for their course their war on women would include misleading and out right lying and fear mongering of new and moms to be and their family. unneeded stress at a time like that comes under "all's fare in war", and don't be remiss that war on women is a 24/7 endeavor.
we are re. ally seeing the truth in the fact they'll do anything to hurt you and the country just to get their way. some of us need to stop looking forward to our own desolation.
