Need a @sarahkliff explainer on this story and why the mother isn't or can't get covered. http://msn.foxsports.com/college-football/story/texas-lb-dalton-santos-tweet-leads-to-major-funding-toward-mom-s-open-heart-surgery-042314 …
@Wonkitry Huh. My initial instinct is that she can’t get coverage cause open enrollment is over. But that’s a total guess.

@sarahkliff The fundraising page states she can only get short-term coverage not covering pre existing conditions. http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/vista-s-angry-aortic-aneurysm/167584 … -
@sarahkliff How does that work? -
@Wonkitry there are some short-term products that are exempted from the ACA (usually they’re not full benefit or guaranteed issue). -
@sarahkliff What was the thought behind exempting those products? Seems against ACA position against denying due to pre-existing conditions.
