GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado - Baby Alex Lange is cute and cuddly, but too chubby for health insurance. The baby has been denied coverage because he weighs too much.
Alex's father, Bernie Lange, said "We can't put him on the Atkins diet or on a treadmill." Lange said their insurance premium went up forty percent when Alex was born. They learned their baby was too fat, according to an insurance underwriter for Rocky Mountain Health Plans.
The Langes, who call Alex their "happy little chunky monkey" are appealing the insurer's decision, and plan on feeding the baby according to his needs.
