This is what I care about - how about you? I say we flood that website with our .02 about how to better this country going forward. Maybe I'm being overly idealistic by bothering to post - but they are asking, so I'm responding. America just amazed itself with this historic election, so let's keep believing that the good stuff is possible & put our cynicism aside.
It's your America.

Kim,
I admire you for trying and of course its a good thing... just think when I was born over 40 years ago in England - the midwives were on the job more so -- I and my younger sister were both born at home - my Dad said that's just how they did it (since my older sister's birth in the hospital had gone well for my Mum)... Makes sense, terribly good sense.... I can't help but wonder why good sense is never the issue.($). business of birth these days?
Yes - it's sad that choices of less intervention (like a home birth) are sometimes only for those who can afford to pay for it out of pocket (mine was paid for by insurance, but I had to wait to be reimbursed)...but so ironic that these options would save the healthcare system so much money. I think that the physician's "Do No Harm" oath may be at odds with medicine for profit - that's such a tough concept for the US.
make that "physicians'"
