Imagine this, team:

Parents welcome a new baby, and she has to stay in the NICU for a few days before coming home. Then, a $200,000 medical bill is sent to the parents, all because an insurance company decided the baby was covered by the father’s spotty insurance over the mother’s quality plan.

This exact scenario happened to one of NewDem Sharice Davids’ constituents as a result of “the birthday rule” — an outdated law that says a new baby’s primary coverage comes from the plan of the parent whose birthday comes first in the year.

Sharice Davids just introduced the Empowering Parents' Healthcare Choices Act, a bill that would do away with “the birthday rule” and give parents the power to decide what coverage their baby has. If you support Rep. Davids’ new bill, sign on now and we’ll let her know how many of our supporters stand with her!

Stand With Sharice!

This is a no-brainer: If one parent has better coverage and lower costs associated with care, then that parent should get to provide coverage for their baby, not a random date on a calendar.

Welcoming a new addition to your family should be joyful, not a stressful negotiation with insurance companies. Sharice Davids is cutting through this tangle of red tape so that families don’t have to deal with surprise medical bills caused by the outdated “birthday rule.”

Let her know that you support her new bill by adding your name now! We will be sure to let her know that you stand with her.
