Democrats are expected to continue closed door sessions as they try to finalize a health care reform bill Tuesday. One Colorado family hopes reform comes sooner than later.

The Bates family lives in Eerie, CO. Two-year-old Aislin Bates has been treated for a gag reflex which affected her eating. Her parents say their insurance company has denied health coverage for their daughter. They say, United Health Care Golden Rule denied coverage because Aislin, at 22 pounds, apparently didn't weigh enough.

"What we want to see is that insurance companies have legitimate reasons for denying coverage," said Aislin's father Rob Bates to KMGH in Denver.

United Health Care Golden Rule says there was more to the decision than just weight issues. A spokesperson told KMGH, "When evaluating height and weight we typically utilize other factors like medical records that show evidence of treatment."

Advocates for the Bates family say the insurance company made a wrong decision. "If I were making the decisions, I think I would certainly cover this child," said Sen. Betty Boyd, a Democrat out of Lakewood, CO.

11 News recently reported on a similar story about a 4-month-old baby boy who was denied health coverage because he was apparently overweight. The insurance company ended up changing their policy regarding some pre-existing conditions.
