She certainly is brave coming out about this. Unfortunately I'm sure there are still plenty of other physicians and administrators making decisions like this in hospitals across the United States.

Insurance companies: We really don't like that pre-existing conditions ban
And Huckabee is ready to champion them.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) this week blasted the Democrats' health reform law for its prohibition on health insurers denying patients based on pre-existing conditions.
Applying that logic to car insurance, Huckabee argued Friday, reveals the folly of the provision.
"How would you like to be able to call your insurance agent for your car and say, 'I want you to insure my car,'" Huckabee told an audience at the Value Voters Summit in Washington Friday. "'Well, tell me about your car.' 'Well, it was a pretty nice vehicle until my sixteen year-old boy wrecked it yesterday.'
"Now how much would a policy cost if it covered everything? About as much as it's gonna cost for health care in this country."
