Kayti recruited Silka to sign the petition | -
Kayti commented on the article |*Babies* are born, currently, 33% by CESAREAN SECTION in this country. That's major surgery (and $17,000) to HAVE A BABY, as opposed to the $2000-$5000 it costs to have an unmedicated birth. (Which is the norm in all the other industrialized nations whose c-section rate is around 10%, which is WHO-standard.)
If Doctors were paid by: #1 pounds of live human ($100 for every pound, let's say); lack of epidural (double #1); lack of pitocin (double #1 again); lack of cesarean (double 1, 2, and 3 combined), that would give a whole lot more incentive to docs (and Insurance co's) to help women have healthy, unmedicated labors and births that cost EVERYONE a whole lot less. One proven way to increase "unmedicated" labors is also to choose midwives and doulas. Please see my petition to that end: http://womensrights.change.org/actions/view/doula_support_for_every_birth
And thanks, Mr Foley for your bringing this up!!! -
