StColette Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 for Being Too Fat Nothing brings a smile to an adult's face quicker than the sight of a happy, chubby baby. But the sight of 4-month-old Alex Lange, who measures 25-inches long and weighs 17 pounds, is bringing a frown to the hypothetical face of insurance company Rocky Mountain Health Plans, The Denver Post reported on its Web site Monday. Underwriters, the people who are in charge of assessing risk for insurance companies, have decided that baby Alex's pre-existing condition — obesity — makes him a high-risk patient and have denied him coverage. more [url="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,564501,00.html"]Here[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Isn't overweight pretty much considered a good thing at that age? I know I was pretty large after a few months, which was good, because I think I was a bit premature and small at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, I was huge both when I was born and up until I started crawling and walking it all off. I was 10 lbs even at birth and around 19 at 4 months.

CatherineM Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I was barely 6 pounds at that age. You can't tell what a kid is going to be based on that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, he'll probably have a pre-existing waiting period even after he "thins" out. Once you've been labeled with a pre-existing condition its a pain to get an insurance company to insure you or insure you right away without having to go through a waiting period which sometimes can be an entire year before you'll actually be covered.

missionseeker Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 My brothers were all more than 10lbs when they were born. I guess they were born with a pre-existing condition. They are now tall and skinny... This is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
