More than 80% delivering mothers are single because they can not afford health care
We have at least 80% of all deliveries are born out of wedlock because of lack of healthcare. Our state provide free health care for uninsured mothers to improve the outcome of the babies. Now, it is rare for me to actually assist with the delivery of an insured, married patient. So we are all paying for this care and the families prosper out of wedlock. If health care was provided to all, this would not occure as much. I also think we could do something about medication. Washington state purchases all childhood vaccines in bulk and gives them free to the clinics. The clinics can only change a nominal fee for administraion of the vaccine. Why can't with do this with all meds for our patients as part of our universal healthcare system. Why should any big pharmacy make big profits on our patients' illnesses. We should kick the insurance & pharmacy companies out of the health care business. Thank you listening to me rant & rave.
