A few weeks ago I wrote about the insurance company who would not insure a baby because he was too big, over the 95 percentile for his height and weight. Now another insurance company has turned down a 2-year old girl who is too small. The girl is in the bottom 3 percentile for her height and weight, but otherwise, perfectly healthy. Her pediatrician says she is not ill, her size is just a matter of genes. She has steadily been gaining weight since she was born. What will be the next step? If you have red hair you can't be insured because you might get a sun burn and later get skin cancer? What about if you are too tall? Maybe you'll hit your head on a door frame and need surgery? The human world of insurance is very confusing!
