>I personally don't see anything wrong with hospital centers renting pumps etc for income.< I don't see anything wrong with hospitals providing pumps, but one of the wonderful things about having a National Health Service is that we can work toward having hospitals -- and community clinics -- provide them to mothers FREE as part of ordinary health care. I have lived outside America most of my voting life, but I always vote in Federal elections and one of the things I vote for is for you guys to have this service too. When the milkman/postman/person on the number 73 bus asks me 'why in the world did you leave California and come to THIS country???' I look them firmly in the eye and tell them about the American health care system. Usually known to shut them up.
