Janet, et al-- I just talked with my Medela rep and got a fuller story. She states that the pump is *not* being marketed specifically to the hospitals, and that rental stations will be carrying them. Apparently this pump is being positioned to be a one-baby pump, but a double pump that mothers can buy, as that is a frequent request. My rep also felt that hospitals probably won't be selling these much, and that insureace will not pick up the high tab ($180 suggested retail; who knows what a hospital would mark that up to!). So, I'm calmed down a little for now. Thought those of you who were in the dark like me would appreciate this update. -Lisa ************************************************* Lisa Marasco, BA, LLLL, IBCLC [log in to unmask] / [log in to unmask] *************************************************
