There is no shame from sleazy, profitmongering health insurance companies. They are already side-stepping the new health insurance reform law in order to reject children:

Insurance industry lawyer William Schiffbauer told the New York Times, “The fine print differs from the larger political message. If a company sells insurance, it will have to cover pre-existing conditions for children covered by the policy. But it does not have to sell to somebody with a pre-existing condition. And the insurer could increase premiums to cover the additional cost.’’

This is why it should be illegal to profit from health insurance. American Health Insurance Providers (AHIP) now have a new mascot.
