I had six children. I suppose that would give me some knowledge about this subject. As I understand it, if a mother should choose to leave in 24 hours-- obviously, that is a big savings to the insurance company; say it cost $1,000 a day in a hospital, and I do not think that is outrageous and that suggestion is pretty much on the mark, or something like that--it may well be that the mother would vastly prefer being home but have some help at home, and maybe that help would extend for 5 days. How do you handle that?
