Another -- really bizarre -- Obamacare quirk
James Taranto, author of the WSJ's Best of the Web notes that the only people not required to have maternity coverage in their health insurance are men and women under 30 years old, that is the tranche of the most likely child bearing citizens.
"First, it's not only men who are forced to buy maternity coverage they are physically incapable of using. So are women in the stage of life between childbearing age and Medicare eligibility.
"Second, under-30s are exempt. That's right, the geniuses who wrote ObamaCare are forcing everyone to buy maternity care except the age cohort that includes women at peak fertility."
