Because of his size, Baby Alex was turned down for health insurance, his height and weight put him in the 99th percentile according to CDC guidelines.
Kelli [his mother] says it's ridiculous, "It's frustrating, it's very frustrating."
Dr. Speedie at Rocky Mountain Health Plans says all babies are evaluated for insurance the same way. "In children it's based on a combination of height and weight."

Well, that's just a mangy cats patoot. :( Nathan is in the 95th in height and the 50th for weight. My friend's son is not even ON the charts anymore, but he's just a big boy, he's thin even. :( That's just insane. If the boy is healthy, what does it matter that he's big, maybe his dad is almost 7ft tall. Maybe HE'S going to be 7ft tall. There shouldn't be any discrimination in BABIES just because they're tall and weigh more than others. Gosh....-Tracy
