Bloomberg’s nannyism: It’s come to this

[chanel]

The nanny state is going after moms.

Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed.

Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive pro-breast-milk program in the nation.

Under the city Health Department’s voluntary Latch On NYC initiative, 27 of the city’s 40 hospitals have also agreed to give up swag bags sporting formula-company logos, toss out formula-branded tchotchkes like lanyards and mugs, and document a medical reason for every bottle that a newborn receives.

They need a "medical reason" to use a bottle? How about "none of your ******* business"? I would ask them to write that down on my chart.

How did this clown get re-elected?

Same way that the other nutz do in NYC it is NYC.

Clearly you should be allowed to feed your newborn anything you like. In Mexico Coca-cola is a favorite.


Don't wanna play by hospital rules get a ******* midwife.

He's helping out the people by saving their money. Corporations try to sell us formula, when the real formula is free.

 

[uscitizen]

hmm yes he is saving tax dollars by promoting breast feeding. Very fiscally conservative of him.

Like - medical reasons?

I have liberty to make my own hospital rules?

GReat. For kid #2 then, the rule will be daddy gets an IV and a button full of opiates, as well.

 

[uscitizen]

For many liberty means supporting republican candidates.
And not supporting liberal ones.

But what does liberty mean?
In the context of "with liberty and justice for all".

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

The Republican party - in favor of LOCAL government - 'cept when we aren't.

Of course people are free to do what they want. This is about commercial interests telling us that formula is the standard, instead of the unfortunately necessary back-up that it should be, costing us all more in the long run.

 

[Seawytch]

Why the **** are hospitals handing out corporate sponsored "swag bags" in the first place?

 

[Sallow]

The Republican party - in favor of LOCAL government - 'cept when we aren't.

They really aren't.

What they favor is corporate government..

It's a new experiment. As no corporation or private business or business venture ever started a government.

 

[konradv]

Why the **** are hospitals handing out corporate sponsored "swag bags" in the first place?

It's the unfortunate result of cuts in federal health/research related funding, forcing hospitals to accept private money and their agenda.

You wouldnt know liberty if it hit you.


The variables are many, but peasants like you like being told how to act, It is people like you that need to be protected from yourselves.

 

[strollingbones]

its okay to force formula but not try to level the playing field?

breast feeding is free and so much better for the infant.....

Most drugs have side effects. Imagine if Nanny Bloomberg decided that pain meds. were unnecessary except in the most extreme circumstances?

I've heard that Vicoden is far more dangerous than baby formula. (sorry no link)

I expect unintended consequences from this.

Of course Bloomberg would prefer this:

to this:

does hungry qualify as a good medical reason to receive a bottle or is this going to be a late abortion?

Their new flag...

 

[chanel]

Excellent point. Women can receive abortions for "no medical reason" but not a bottle of FDA approved Similac?

People can get elective surgery "for no medical reason", but not any baby milk?

I hated nursing. I did it for several weeks because I was pressured by the Le Leche people at the hospital, but if I were ever to do it again, I'd pass. It's a personal decision; not the mayor's.

why do you equate breast feeding with starving babies?


o let me guess you didnt breastfeed and have no concept of what you are endorsing or not endorsing....but you fully support the formula companies
