The state has one of the country’s highest maternal mortality rates. Now, three hospitals plan to stop delivering babies, putting some pregnant women at even higher risk.
when will it become cheaper to pay a nurse/doctor for the day under the table for being on call during the last part of the pregnancy to help deliver? with hospital costs in the US and with most of that money not actually going to the doctors, why isnt there more of a black market?
Only because the connotation of a black health market scares consumers I’d imagine. That and the powers that be would crack down on it hard if it grew to any sizable portion.
