Children-Only Health Insurance Going Away
Insurance Companies: Health Care Reform To Blame
In the past, families in such predicaments used to be able to purchase child-only policies. However, because of the Affordable Care Act those options are disappearing in Colorado.
The Affordable Care Act requires insurance companies which offer child-only policies to take all kids, even those with preexisting conditions.

He said until there is a mandate that all kids have insurance, like there will be in 2014, there is an incentive for parents now to only sign-up their child when he or she is sick.
