Mind you, I'm all for all the visitors the patient wants. Last time I was hospitalized, I told the staff "NO visitors but my spouse and son" and told them no more than 1/2 hour each day -- but that's me. When I'm sick I don't want to see anyone.
The point, though, is this is NOT a federal government issue. Medicaid and Medicare don't pay for visitors, so that argument is specious.
Nor do I think it's a big issue. It's just another "in your face" desire.
