Yeah, if you're a kid with cancer in Seattle under Obamacare, it is bad news all the way around:

If you happen to have insurance with TWO of the SEVEN Obamacare exchange carriers, you're fine. If you are with one of the FIVE, you got nothing. Except your cancellation notice.

============

"Just look at Seattle Children's Hospital, which ranks No. 11 on the U.S. News & World Report best pediatric hospital list. When Obamacare rolled out, the hospital found itself with just two out of seven insurance companies on Washington's exchange. The hospital sued the state's Office of Insurance on Oct. 4 for "failure to ensure adequate network coverage."

"Children's is the only pediatric hospital in King County and the preeminent provider of many pediatric specialty services in the Northwest," a hospital press release said. " Some of these specialized services not available elsewhere in our area or region include acute cancer care, level IV neonatal intensive care and heart, liver and intestinal transplantation."
