IT'S ABOUT TIME !!!

Finally some tiny part of our government is beginning to have some compassion.  Medicare has finalized new rules to require visitation rights for all hospital patients.  "The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued new rules for Medicare-Medicaid participating hospitals that protect patients' rights to choose their own visitors during a hospital stay, including a visitor who is a same-sex domestic partner. 

 It was good to read this though, frankly I never heard it announced on any of the many 'news' programs I listen to and watch.  For more on this new rule, click here.   The US Government Health and Human Services gives out news releases for which one can subscribe on line.
