This "disturbing story" about Obamacare was all the rage the last few days:
Baby not covered under ObamaCare family plan [with Photo]

This baby’s not on board with ObamaCare.
Long Islander Cornelius Kelly found it would be no problem to secure a family plan for his wife and three older kids through New York’s health-care exchange, but his 18-month-old daughter was out in the cold. The baby would need her own insurance policy.
“I couldn’t believe what I was being told,” said the dad from East Quogue, in Suffolk.

Incredibile! Another "evil" of the socialist system known as Obamacare:
Babies don't get insurance coverage!
It's just another brazen attack on "family values" -- by the Party that hates children!
Or so said, the right wing echo machine which kept re-telling the tale of "the baby being left out in the cold" by Big Govt, as this simple Google Search shows:
baby not covered by obamacare
That horrible story spread like ... Wildfire ...
And here was the 'inevitable correction' to that false flag report.
Somehow it is spreading as fast as a Glacier ... (before Climate Change):
Another ACA horror story fades away

On Sunday morning, the New York Post published the story of Cornelius Kelly, who was dismayed to learn that the New York State health insurance plans could cover his wife and three older children, but that he would have to buy a separate plan for his 18-month-old daughter.
Fox News ran with the story on Monday morning, and had Kelly on to retell the tale. Within hours, the story had spread.

At issue in this case was Kelly, a failed conservative candidate for the state legislature, who made a mistake applying for coverage – he listed having three children instead of four. The error caused a clerical issue, which was later resolved.
And that’s it. That’s the whole story. Kelly’s paperwork was straightened out and his kids are covered.

Imagine that! Right-wing ideologue forgets he has 4 kids! And blames
his "oversight" on "failed Obamacare."
Something tells me, the right wing echo machine will not be running this amended "family values" story -- on an endless loop -- like they just did with very inaccurate version of the same tall tale.
... If the Google Search results baby not covered by obamacare, are any indication.
(the first "correction" I could find was on Page 3 of a Goooooogle ...)
