…must be nice to have that much time to take off from work and have a health plan that covers 10 days if medical supervision after birth…must be a fad with those fancy government workers. I can’t even get an insurance company to spring for a regular prenatal visit and when I ot my wife had to take a day off we didn’t get paid.
There isn’t enough eeeeewwwww in all the world to comment adequately on this. This isn’t just ignorant, this is aggressively and willfully anti-intelligent.

Ten days?!!! These people are seriously nuts. Sure, letting the umbilical drain makes sense (no need to throw away excellent resources); but ten days. No way; flies would be on it. Someone must be pulling our leg.
And the apron strings on for life.
I bet they’ll be asking for the placenta to be covered for 26 years as well.
Dude, wtf is wrong with people now days?

I have to second Ernie Loco’s comment.

@ Crabby I think you just described the mindset of every liberal. If the new trend was giving birth while jumping off a bridge…..
A plague of umbilical proportions.
“Honey, where’s Johnny’s placenta? It was right here a minute ago.”
“Oh, I stuck it in the fridge. The dog was chewing on it.”
(Many mammals eat their placentas. More sanitary, I suspect.)
Okay, I know I’m a jerk, but I’m fer this.
Think of the alternative (Jimmy has it)

“Gaia’s perfect wrapping”
— is my vote —
of the euphemism of the millennium . . .
Kudos to JG!
Keep safe.
I wonder if JG crawls into her “perfect wrapping” every night. Would explain quite a lot really.
Heh.
@8 Your best pun yet Oppo.

And the US Navy has solved their budget problem.
