Obamacare mandates maternity coverage, but it can't add your new baby to your planIf you like your new baby, you can't insure your new baby.

There's another quirk in the Obama administration's new health insurance system: It lacks a way for consumers to quickly and easily update their coverage for the birth of a baby and other common life changes.

With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers will still cover new babies, the administration says, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later on.

Right now the HealthCare.gov website can't handle such updates.

The cynic in me says they assumed all pregnant women would jump at the chance to get a (now free) abortion.

But it's probably just another shining example of Obama's unparalleled competence. He'll have one of his lackeys order the insurance companies to cover your new baby, and they'll listen, because he's The King.

Uh, ok, good luck with that.

Paperwork? Payments? Feh, he can't concern himself with such trifles. Not when there are vacations to be taken and golf courses to be conquered.

Besides, I'm sure MSNBC is already blaming this latest "glitch" on Republicans. Or a YouTube video. And Hillary will fix everything when she's elected president. It said so in The New York Times.
