New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer elaborated in a statement ““Health plans cannot discriminate between adopted and biological children and must allow enrollment when the child becomes a dependent of the plan member.” This seems to make perfect logical sense to me not to mention being morally right.
New York law regarding health plans “prohibits insurers and health plans from denying a child enrollment in a family policy on the grounds that the child does not reside with the parent or in the plan’s service area, and it also provides that coverage for children who are adopted is effective no later than the date on which the child becomes a dependent.”
