Today, President Obama issued a memo ordering the Department of Health and Human Services to require than any hospital that receives Medicare or Medicaid to allow patients to determine who can visit them.
I admit, I cried when I read the memo.
I should note, at no time was I questioned or denied access to be by Wayno or Richard’s side when the time was appropriate. It was a nun at Providence Hospital in Portland that got me access to the ICU when Richard had heart surgery. With that said, I should say that I had been worried. A Catholic Hospital; was I going to be denied?
It may seem minor, but it is such a major victory. At least for me, in my life.
You go, Barack!
