In the light of the Occupy Wall Street movement, WHY THE U. S. GETS THE WORST CHILDBIRTH OUTCOMES IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD presents the bad news about our for-profit maternity system (which our mainstream media refuse to air) and why it is this way, and compares it with how the countries which get the best maternity results approach the jobs of maternity care, health care in general, and family support. Not only could the U.S. see solid improvement, it could be easily affordable, and even cheaper than what we're doing now.
