Harry Reid Hates Sick Children… Nevada Kids Lose Health Care Because of Obamacare (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, September 27, 2010, 9:26 PM
What is it about the Obama-Pelosi-Reid regime?
Why do they hate sick children?
Harry Reid’s Health Care Bill Is Forcing Insurance Companies To Drop Kids Health Care:
Nevada is not alone. Health plans in at least four other states have announced they’re dropping children’s coverage.
The Hill has more:
Health plans in at least four states have announced they’re dropping children’s coverage just days ahead of new rules created by the healthcare reform law, according to the liberal grassroots group Health Care for America Now (HCAN)…
Insurers including WellPoint and CoventryOne have announced in recent days that they’re dropping children’s coverage in California, Colorado, Ohio and Missouri.
Hat Tip Dan Riehl
Don’t expect the Obama-loving state-run media to report on this.

I wonder in Missouri, if part or all of the problem is because the state mandated coverage for autism?
wanumba commented:
Democrats hate children – they’re “burdens.”
Seriously, this country is splitting down the barrens versus the fertiles divide. The infertile by choice trying to force the families into extinction.
Very very strange times. Ferility and abundant children used to be honored, in the Regressive Left, it’s bad and has to be destoyed.
Steve Tucker commented:
Good thing we have the SCHIP bill WHICH ALREADY GUARANTEED KIDS COVERAGE FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS LONG BEFORE Obamacare! You know the one we stuffed $36 Billion MORE into last year.

Eddie. If the insurance company pays out more than it takes in. IT’S OUT OF BUSINESS.
No different than McDONALDS.
donh commented:
I am sure this has a lot to do with autism and Assburger syndrome which are suspect as quack conditions exploited by adults to game the system. I have seen it in my own family. A brother in law said to my face he is hoping to have his own snoring attributed to sleep apnea so he can leave the army with higher retirement benefits . I will bet anything he has a similar financial gain to having his boy diagnosed with assburger. To me he’s just a rude kid with no manners because his father was not home to spank him, but there is money in labelling the boy with a syndrome. Now children with legitimate chronic health issues have to suffer a loss of insurance because the fraudulant scammers have kicked down the doors .
Chippy commented:
Interesting that the Obamacare bill states that you are still a “Child” until your twenty six years old. Lil barry and the socialist libs call redistribution of your money an investment. It’s an investment in growing government so “they” can take and spend your money.

why aren’t the republicans making a big deal about this? throw it back in the faces of the left by saying the left hate children and want them to die!! hey it worked for the left all these years!

Wanumba, good to see you friend. LIBTARDS see a brave new world where they are supported by their ABORTED sons and daughters FICA taxes. We as a society have REAPED excactly what we have SEWN.
Killing babies isn’t REALLY killing babies.
It’s about a LIBTARD women’s RIGHT to choose to KILL HER OWN BABY.
Those of us who followed JFK’s Inaugural address are EXTREMISTS.
We want to KILL lettuce picking Immigrants.
We want to DENY, Mommy’s their INFANTICIDAL RIGHTS.
Who taught these twisted FREAKS this kind of MORALITY???
DEMOCRATS. Vote for me, and I’ll support ANY FILTHY THING YOU DO.

Chippy. Obama has 26 year olds VOTES in his POCKET.
Obama is promising 26 year olds. SOMEONE ELSE’S MONEY.
When my MOTHER was 23, she was a WIDOW, with 3 children.
Nothing Obama and his “handlers” do, IS NOT POLITICAL.
If Obama wanted to HELP this NATION, he’d stop playing the juvenile games he plays.
OBAMA IS CLUELESS. He is a neophyte loser.
Chippy commented:
Totally agree with you Gus. In Obama’s world, nobody has to grow up. Just blame the rich people for not paying more.

donh #6, Is this how you really feel about Autism and Aspergers? That this is something made up, that these kids would be ok if their parents just spanked them more often?
I hope there aren’t many out there like you that feel this way.
First off, Autism isn’t some “quack conditions exploited by adults to game the system.” It is a serious disease which affects 1 our of every 110 children in the U.S., and parents aren’t making money off of it.
You think this is something parents must drum up for some sort of financial gain? That’s the dumbest comment I’ve ever heard and you sir must have no compassion towards handicap people or their families to make such a statement. I truly hope that you never have to experience this with your own children or grandchildren. Some of these children are constantly running high fevers through their entire childhood lives and their parents are there with them worrying over them all day and night. Not to mention convulsions, headaches, seizures, things that take them to the brinks of death and back and their parents, these people you accuse of drumming up this disease, are the only ones there for them to care for them. The hospitals send them home saying there’s nothing they can do or that these kids will be ok they just had a bad reaction to something and they can’t figure it out. Doctors don’t know how to handle the symptoms or the kids so they don’t want to take them on as patients. They suffer daily with their sensory overloads which cause behavioral symptoms that they seriously can not control. You should have to experience just half the pain these kids go through just putting on a shirt. Maybe then you’d see your nephew in a whole new light and maybe you’d even offer to lend a hand now and then and actually learn about what is affecting your nephew.
FYI this Autism Bill is something parents of children with Autism have desperately needed for over 20 years. Autism is the only disorder for which health insurance companies in Missouri refuse to provide coverage.
Although I do agree that this may be some sort of backlash with the current insurance issue, I will never agree with you on the rest of your cold hearted statement.

…………….
My two cents… autism isn’t made up. Our son was diagnosed incorrectly with it so we had to fight our way OUT of the Special Ed and Ritalin. We met though plenty of parents and their autistic kids – it’s genuine.
HOWEVER, it is being abused by some people, which jacks the numbers. I know personally one woman who constantly informs people her son is autistic and I knew in 30 seconds of interaction with him he’s not. She finally admitted on the side that she gets lots of special services fo him … she knows damn well he’s not autistic. She’ll eat this short term racket later in life as her son works to achieve and finds that “autistic” label is going to hurt his chances to succeed – he won’t be given opportunities to excel.
Parents with autistic kids have a very hard pull, so the fakers and exaggerators really do rob the system.

————————————
I can’t believe that some parent would actually fake this condition for their child.
My son is Autistic and I have had to fight for everything in his life and I have never gotten any special services for him monetarily. It’s been a struggle for almost 18 years now and I have met all kinds of parents and I have never met a child that was faking this.
Any parent who would fake something like this for their child just for special services must have themselves checked into a mental ward and have their child or children taken away, they seriously need help.
God bless all your children and God bless America, in Jesus name, Amen.

The Obamacare bill will mandate that companies (that cover children) take ALL children. INCLUDING those with pre exisisting conditions. Obama care is also cutting out the ability to put monies pretaxed into medical savings accounts for special needs kids to get either medical attention OR specialized schooling. Oh yhea, LIBERALAS are sooooo smart….NOT.
Liberals CAUSE most of the problems, intentionally.
powder is dry.
squeaky commented:
“can’t believe that some parent would actually fake this condition for their child.” it goes hand in hand with the “victim” mentality that is sweeping the country. self sufficency isn’t a possitive in todays reality. in ma a child with a
disability maybe eligible for ssi to the tune of over $600 non-taxable monthly. the new mentality is that if the state will give you money you’d be stupid not to take it. tell people that you’re not interested in state help and they look at you like you have two heads.
i’ve seen families with more than one child on ssi with the potential of over $1,800 coming in monthly if there’s 3 children involved. nice deal
donh commented:
#12 Yes I am suspect of these conditions from what I have seen in my own family and what I have heard reported. You nail it in your comment with the term ” behavioral symptoms” which are claimed to be due to things like allergies. I think it is “nanny state” mentality to find handicaps in people to grow dependancy in government. I do not like the idea of children with behavioral problems being lumped in with children in wheel chairs , with blood disorders, blind, deaf ect. My assberger nephew is socially introverted and says things so brutally honest as to provoke insult. His only risk in life is that somebody punches him in the face for the things he says. Its not like he is going to DIE without some medical care. It serves the nanny state agenda to cater to these conditions and it rations care away from children facing serious life and death issues.
TalkinKamel commented:
Yes, Rightwing conservative, I know:
I’m one of those oh-so-powerful parents of autistic kids too, and I keep wondering when all the money and influence is going to kick in. So far, there’s been nothing. Lots of people keep telling me about all the big bucks I’m supposedly getting, and all the wonderful services—-but we get few services, and no money; I must complain to the local “Conspiracy of parents of autistic kids,” they’ve obviously forgotten about us.
I’ve also never met a parent, or a kid, who was “faking” it (which, in the case of autism, would be pretty hard to do on a long term basis, anyway.)
TalkinKamel commented:
And in our neck of the country, parents of autistic, or any other special needs kids, have no pull whatsoever.
Wanumba, what are these special services that woman you know is getting, that she considers so great that she wants her son labled autistic? The only services we get—and they’re outsourced to a private company, they’re not from the local state firm for taking care of kids—are purely theraputic; helping my son to talk, playing games with him, so he learns give and take—an ordinary child would be bored to tears within minutes, and would be pleading with him mom to get him out of the program—it wouldn’t be anything special for him at all, not like, say, free swimming lessons, or art lessons. And we get no money whatsoever; zip, zilch, nada, bupkiss. We get services—which they’re always cutting back—and “permission” to enroll my son in the special ed department of our local public school—an institution we support with our taxes, and which we ‘d have to send him to anyway. So what are all these perks and privileges?
TalkinKamel commented:
As for healthcare, my autistic son is enrolled on the same private insurance plan the rest of the family has—which my husband gets, through a second job he works, in addition to his primary one. From the sound of it, it might just be a matter of time before he’s forced off it, if they’re dropping kids now.
Also, finding a doctor willing to treat an autistic kid for physical ailments is hard, out here. We finally found one, who’se sympathetic to him—but it took a long time.
TalkinKamel commented:
Also, even if a parent were trying to fake autism, for whatever demented reason—it’s the kid, not the parents, who gets examined by more than one psychiatrist, therapist, etc.—and autism isn’t something I believe an ordinary kid could convincingly fake for a sustained length of time. Same with mental retardation.

#21
Not sure what references you are referring to when you stated that Autism isn’t life threatening considering there are multiple symptoms and conditions affecting people with Autism on many different levels.
Like I said, learn more about Autism and it’s different levels. There are some great works out there showing the levels with life threatening complications people with Autism go through.
Look online for testimonials from parents who have lost their children due to Autism. To give this just a one conditional name is not doing the disease justice due to the different levels of Autism. Considering the one thing all or most people with Autism have a common diagnosis with is PSD (Processing Sensory Disorder) whereas other diagnoses placed upon Autism can differ greatly from seizures to migraines.
Once again #21 I say, educate yourself and you’ll find out there’s way more to this than what you’ve stated here. Plus you’ll notice that not once have I mentioned allergies as a symptom but to that I say that allergies too can be and are life threatening. I hold no faith in the belief that allergies cause “behavioral symptoms”. Behavioral Symptoms are cause by PSD.
God bless us all and God bless America, in Jesus name, amen.
TalkinKamel commented:
#21 is a person who refers to his nephew—a kid, his own flesh and blood—as his “Assberger nephew.” Classy.
I don’t think it’s education he needs, so much as family counseling; he harbors a lot of hostility towards his brother-in-law, and this nephew, of whom he says, “My Assberger nephew (CLASSY, dat!) is so brutally honest as to provoke insult.” He also calls him “a rude kid with no manners”, and says he needs a spanking.
I suspect the real source of his rage is that his nephew said something that hurt his widdle feewings, and his brother-in-law—the dastard—wouldn’t let him punch the kid in the face.
As I said, I think family counseling is called for, here.
TalkinKamel commented:
Taking a look at donh’s comment #6, he doesn’t even have any proof that his in-law family is faking their son’s Asperger’s syndrome, or getting money from the state for it—he just has a feeling that his brother-in-law is going to do this! Why? Because he doesn’t like his brother-in-law! That’s proof enough, right?
(Man, WHAT did his nephew say to him, to get him so mad?)
Really—this is a family that needs help! Or, at least Donh does.

(Man, WHAT did his nephew say to him, to get him so mad?)
Or, what did he do to his nephew to make his “socially inverted” nephew mad enough to “says things so brutally honest as to provoke insult.” towards him. Seems to me the only ass here is the person referring to his nephew as “My assberger nephew” #6/21.
As far as some people getting somewhere around $600 a month off of faking their kids autism, I need to see proof that it’s actually autism these kids are faking and not adhd, depression, or other mild forms of mental disabilities. Also let me say that $600 a month wouldn’t cover the special foods my son eats for nutrients because he has a selective appetite due to his senses and will vomit even upon the smells of other foods before ever trying or seeing them. Plus that small amount of money wouldn’t cover the trips to the Therapist office because we have to travel for over an hr due to the fact that there aren’t any therapist in my area who have studied autism enough to treat my son’s symptoms, which also ends up with us spending the night in a hotel because of sever anxiety my son gets on the way there, and I’m talking 4 trips a month at times. Not to mention sitters for our other 3 children during school season.
Hell that’s a small amount of money to help care for those who can’t care for themselves. Shoot I know of people who will freely donate more money outside of this country to help kids overseas. Why is anyone complaining about this small amount when politicians are spending way more of our tax dollars on their luxury items than a handicap person will spend in their lifetime.
Seriously, $600 a month won’t even cover the rent in some places, how are these handicapped people expected to live off that?
If we don’t care for our nations handicap (Those who can not care for themselves) who will? Where will they end up? As a parent of a handicap child this terrifies me, I mean what will happen to him when I’m gone if this is the general attitude towards him receiving any help just because people aren’t educated about autism?

SandyfromChesterfield commented:
My son’s cobra insurance runs out this Thursday so I have been looking for insurance for him. Since my husband is on Medicare and I have retirees spouse coverage he cannot be added to our policies. So I have to get a child-only policy for him. BUT they are not issuing child-only policies anymore. Since insurance companies now have to insure children with pre-existing conditions they have decided to refuse to issue children only policies. He is a healthy 17 year old without a pre-existing condition but they are only issuing policies to 19 year olds and up. I called the MO department of insurance today and they said no one is issuing these policies anymore.
I am not asking for a hand out or for a subsidy for his insurance. It seems ridiculous that I cannot get something that I am willing to pay for. I do not fault the insurance companies and I know they are doing this because of the pre-existing mandate.
Pray that my son stays healthy until he turns 19.
TalkinKamel commented:
Rightwinger/Conservative, and out here, we don’t get $600.00 per month for autism! We don’t get any money, whatsoever. And now, they’re going to cut back on services. You’d think us parents of autistic kids being so powerful, and cunning, and all, we’d be able to not only stop this, but get more cash for ourselves. Such, however, does not seem to be the case. . .
Like you, I’m often terrified of what my son, and all other disabled kids will face in the future. I worry about that every day.
And Sandy, I’m sorry about your own, healthy son’s insurance, but I’m wondering if this isn’t going to be the wave of the future; cut all young people off insurance—for starters. Start with the autistic, the kids with ADHD, then work up from there. Hey, why should any kids get insurance? Most of them just need a good spanking, anyway! Make ‘em go to work, support themselves! They did that in Victorian England, didn’t they?
Then they’ll start with the old, those with pre-existing conditions, the mentally ill, etc.; after all, they’re probably just faking it! Hey, I have a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend who says they get a bazillion dollars a month, for—well, something! And my friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend say this person, and doesn’t think they’re sick at all! And my terrible sister-in-law says her mother suffers from Alzheimer’s! Aww, I’ll bet she’s just faking it. (I know she is, cuz I don’t like my sister-in-law!)
Etc., etc., etc.
May God bless America, and all its children, in Jesus’ name, and help it in the years to come. Amen.
