ObamaCare Anti-Child? Again?

Can't add a newborn baby to your ObamaCare policy? 
There's another quirk in the Obama administration's new health insurance system: It lacks a way for consumers to quickly and easily update their coverage for the birth of a baby and other common life changes.
With regular private insurance, parents just notify the health plan. Insurers will still cover new babies, the administration says, but parents will also have to contact the government at some point later on.
Right now the HealthCare.gov website can't handle such updates.
It's a reminder that the new coverage for many uninsured Americans comes with a third party in the mix: the feds. And the system's wiring for some vital federal functions isn't yet fully connected.
Some will be tempted to call this a "glitch," but it ain't the first time we've seen ObamaCare being unfriendly to people who want to have children.   Of course, we al know that truly committed progressives hate children, so it must be asked again...feature or bug?
