[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are they going to do, hold the baby hostage?[/quote]

Presumably they can call CPS [/quote]

I don’t think they call CPS, they just don’t clear the baby to leave the premises.[/quote]

They will if you pitch a fit and try to leave AMA and/or the head nurse happens to be PMSing. [/quote]

I suppose. But there's nothing CPS could or would do in that situation.[/quote]

CPS won't come out and throw themselves in front of the doors to hold them shut, but they will make a report as indicated.

Probably more relevantly, if the child is not discharged and you take them anyway, then they have been taken out AMA. AMA means insurance (including but not limited to Medicaid) will not pay for the encounter, so you can pay out of pocket or sort it out with the courts, or a collections agency, or whatever.

True, but if a hospital employees touches them at all, the settlement will more than outweigh the bills[/quote]
