Not All Indian Health Care is Awful
As Washington debates health care, this small hospital in a dusty desert town on an Indian reservation, showing its age and struggling to make ends meet, somehow manages to outperform richer, more prestigious institutions when it comes to keeping Caesarean rates down, which saves money and is better for many mothers and infants.
Full story of the hospital run by the Navajo Nation.
Indian health care outperforming the rest of the country? Hard to believe.
Outperforms only if performance is defined as a lower rate of Caesarians. The article fails to discuss actual outcomes like maternal or neonatal mortality. Caesarians decrease both.
Then it slimes physicians by implying that they do Caesarians for the money.
