Is it really fair that a child's access to health insurance for the rest of its life depends on decisions parents made? What your thought experiment really shows is that market based health insurance is hard to justify ethically, and that at least some level of health care should be paid for on a more equitable basis (such as through a public health system). In addition, issues like information asymmetry mean that there is no happy medium between unregulated health insurance and a full public health system.

"Is it really fair that a child's access to health insurance for the rest of its life depends on decisions parents made?" Probably not. This is why I suggested that it might be valid for the government to provide this meta-insurance to all children born. Your other statements are simply opinions without the associated effort of argumentation.
