The kicker though is that the child would not be covered at all, so if there are any complications with delivery resulting in the child needing more medical attention, it would not be covered.
I wonder if that is a state by state law that a baby is covered under moms ins?

I do know that for non covered moms, buying separate insurance for the baby only starts after the babies first 'well baby' visit. which if there is a complication will not happen for quite some time, otherwise it tends to be around one week.
