Bruce [log in to unmask] or -------------------------- [Original Message] ------------------------- One suggestion would be to get both your state senator and department of insurance involved. The people in my state, NJ, have done that and now, for one thing, HMO's must permit a mother and new born baby to stay at least 48 hours in the hospital. They had been insisting they be kicked out after 24 hours. Of course, you need something quicker than legislation, but the state policians can and should be brought into your dilemma right away because I think they could do you and your wife some good. I would call them right now and get fax numbers or e-mail addresses so you can send them a summary of the situation. You might also want to include your Congressperson. They all love this stuff.
