[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's one of the reasons I'm not delivering at Sibley, even though I live very close. I chose GW instead.

And yes, I think $45 can "push you over the edge" - it's not about the money per se, but principle. If all the hospitals in the area offer private rooms at no extra cost, why choose the one hospital that makes you pay extra? $290 is not an inconsequential amount of money for most people.[/quote]
No one said $290 was inconsequential. But is $45 enough to have you change your OP practice during pregnancy?  [/quote]

As a PP said, if the original amount was already high for you, then those $45 could be the last straw. Plus, it's a matter of principle, and increasing their private room fee if private rooms are standard in other area hospitals just seems greedy. But the market will ultimately decide what they can get.[/quote]
Well, taking OP at her word, she said "I was willing to pay $250."  Didn't sound to me like she was under duress.  But maybe you know better.  Whatever. [/quote]

Did I speak of duress? If she says she was willing to pay $250, it doesn't mean she was comfortable paying it. I was just explaining why I understand her feeling that $45 extra put her over the edge. No need to get snappy.[/quote]
