At 18-months old Jackson's insurance company listed him with a pre-existing condition: ear infections. Starting in 2010 insurance company's were banned from denying children for preexisting conditions. As Jackson's mom says:

"The Affordable Care Act makes it so that I know that my children are covered and that is an amazing thing."

Dear Obama Campaign, please run ads like this! The liberal base already dislikes the republican candidates. We don't need to go negative!

I understand that insurance companies must make a profit to stay in business, but they have become too greedy! Thank God for the Affordable Care Act & hopefully our country will be intelligent enough to keep Obama in office for another 4 years!

my understanding is that the pre-existing exclusions don't end for adults for another few years. For children it ws immediate.

If you pay for insurance why do pre exsisting conditions keep you from using it when you need it?

Check to see if the affordable care act will cover you it covered two women who had cancer, so check it out even if you do have insurance! Or check out all government health care agencies now under Obama! Don't leave it too late cos you could be covered under something!

The story doesn't make sense. Did the Coffmans change health insurers after their son was born? What was the final outcome of their appeal? Appears to have been an administrative error. More details please.

I agree with @jimmmyz169 " obama campaign, when you guys start running campaign ads on tv instead of airing negative ads like the republicans are right now, getting these stories of individuals out there would be awesome! i love these!
