But Valerie's managed-care plan, like most, wants her out after two days, vastly complicating her plans to breast-feed her baby. Thompson went to the nurses' station and begged for one more day. The nurses told her she could call her insurer, but they didn't hold out much hope. "They said, 'No way. That's not going to happen,'" Thompson recalls...
