Thousands of Minnesota children were delivered quite the blow with UnitedHealthcare's announcement that it would once again deny health coverage to sick children with pre-existing conditions if the upcoming Supreme Court ruling permits the insurer to do so ("Key insurer will keep health law changes," June 12). It's bad enough the court is playing politics with people's lives with this case. It's even worse when wealthy health insurance companies opt to put their financial interests ahead of the health and well-being of the most vulnerable among us.
