'GMA' Gets Answers: Newborn Baby With Pre-Existing Condition?
Advertisements [?]
Source: ABC News

New mother Kelly Barnes is heartbroken and angry.

She's heartbroken because she has endured what no mother should have to endure. While pregnant with twins, she lost one of them at 30 weeks. The other baby, Kinsleigh, was born with serious heart problems.

But Barnes is angry because her insurance company, Aetna, held up paying thousands of dollars in medical charges. The reason? The insurance company said the newborn might have been suffering from a pre-existing condition.

"I don't know how something could be pre-existing in a baby, so it was very shocking to me to see something like that," Barnes told "Good Morning America." "It's a slap in the face. Her medical bills are the last thing I should be worrying about. I should know that my baby is being taken care of."

Hey Kelly, don't you know according to Repukes like Palin, Angle, Rand Paul, Joe Miller, O' Donnell, sorry but once the baby is out of the womb the two of you are on your own - the freemarket will take care of it.
