I do not work in a hospital, so I may not understand this correctly. When
I am a patient in the hospital, the cost of my food is included in my room
fee. I have never been charged for my meal, nor have I been asked to bring
food from home (actually, I suspect the nurses would prefer that I not
bring food from home). I don't think my insurance is billed more or less
if I eat their food or not. Why would another patient be treated different
from me just because that person is much younger? I am all for
breastfeeding, but I think that it does not make sense to treat different
patients differently as far as costs go. Is there something I don't
get? It wouldn't be the first time!
