Obamacare, Insurance, Breast Pumps, and Formula

[somdfunguy]

I've been reading that insurance now pays for breast pump rentals or will pay for the purchase of a pump. In some cases, maybe they pay for the supplies for them as well. I have an email in to our HR to see if this is true or not, I know last year it was not.

How long until they pay for formula as well for those people that can afford it? I could afford the $20 a week in formula but why is this not free as well. How about the food now that she is older? Baby still has to eat so maybe they will pay for the gun and bullets to kill the food since they pay for the pump to get the milk.

Did you know that food stamps can be used to buy guns and ammunition?

They want mother's to breast feed. Bloomberg and NY put through legislation that requires the hospitals not make formula readily available - the mother has to ask for it for every feeding or some such nonsense.

Most "smart" people want to breast feed but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.

Regardless I get what you're saying
