I read last week that Mayor Daley of Chicago and his wife had a case of the flu and spent 2 days in Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago in order to recover from their illness.
Reading this news item, I wondered to myself about the Mayor's health insurance plan.
What kind of health insurance allows a patient to spend 2 days in a hospital bed, on a floor, today for the flu? I know mine doesn't.
What do you think? Does being Mayor of Chicago give you a special health "perk"?
Is something out of sink with a 2 day stay in the hospital for flu, when the average woman who's had one or two breasts removed as part of a therapeutic cancer treatment stays only 2 days on average? Remember, there was a time, when breast amputation was covered by health insurance for only a 1 day stay, while prostate removal has always been
associated with a 7 day hospital stay, fully covered by insurance.
