Frankfort, KY – The Commonwealth of Kentucky has ordered health insurers to resume selling child-only policies. Kentucky Insurance Commissioner Sharon Clark says the order goes into effect January 1st. Insurers had stopped selling such plans earlier this year because the new health-reform law would have required them to accept children with pre-existing medical conditions.
In a report on the subject, Clark says insurers' decisions to stop offering child-only policies violates Kentucky law and causes unfair discrimination to some children.
