The one thing that many seem to be conveniently forgetting is that in every state that I have ever heard of there are laws in place that guaranteed that babies will be accepted onto their parents health insurance plan if the parent simply inform the insurance company within the first 30 days after the baby is born. The real issue here is that the parents were either irresponsible in not having insurance for themselves or they were irresponsible in not taking a few minutes to call up the insurance company within the first 30 days after the baby was born. If they already have their current insurance they they should have simply added the baby on within the first 30 days like the law allows for guaranteed coverage for babies no matter what.
