Remember that effective this September that the first set of healthcare legislation went into force, and kids under age 19 are guaranteed acceptance on individual/family health plans. So if you applied for health insurance in the past and one of your kids was declined coverage, then most carriers are only allowing to add them back onto your plan on your policy renewal, which most plans renew the first of January or July.
There is a catch.... at least one parent has to apply and get approved with the child to have them on the plan, and both parent's have to apply and one has to get approved with several companies.
Let us know if you have any kids under age 19 that you've had problems getting insurance on and want to re-look at these options.
