ObamaCare Is Being Sued By Seattle Children’s Hospital Because The Law Blocks Them From Caring For Kids
Kate Fink, a 4-year-old girl from Washington State who faced a ruptured ear drum, was recommended by her doctor to see a specialist at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
At first, her insurer through Washington’s state ObamaCare exchange authorized the care. Just four days later though, Kate’s mother, Sarah, received a notice saying that her coverage was being denied, because the Seattle Children’s Hospital was out-of-network.
“These families bought insurance thinking that their children were going to be covered,” a doctor with Seattle Children’s Hospital said, “and in fact it’s a false promise.”
Only 2 of the 7 plans offered on the ObamaCare exchange include coverage at Seattle Children’s Hospital, a major provider for specialized child care in Washington state.
Seattle Children’s Hospital is suing the state insurance commissioner over “failure to ensure adequate network coverage” in the ObamaCare exchanges.
Families in Washington State and across the country are realizing every day that ObamaCare was sold as a bundle of false promises and empty assurances, and is failing to provide real health care solutions for Americans.
