Physicians Are Less Likely to Receive a C-Section, and Other Links
NBER Study: Physician mothers have lower C-section rates.
Are state high risk pools going to dump their patients onto the exchanges?
ObamaCare won’t be like Travelocity after all; there will be a lot of emails, phone calls and faxes.
About four in ten adults in the U.S. are using some form of alternative medicine.

I thought it would be lower than this. I support his, however.
It does seem like it would be lower, I’m sure that “alternative medicine” is a lot more ambiguous than what we have in mind.
True. Now that I read what it entails, some of those services are more “traditional” in my mind.
It is interesting that it is only “one in nine” for kids, but I guess that “meditation, acupuncture, chiropractic care and homeopathic treatment” aren’t generally what children need.
“NBER Study: Physician mothers have lower C-section rates.”
Sounds like an information gap.
Yeah, if you want the best option, look to see what the members of that field are doing.
Sounds like a tort risk gap

Do we expect anything other than the government being behind the times?

Not sure government wants to get into the business of running like a business.
They aren’t very good at business. They should stick to government.
“Are state high risk pools going to dump their patients onto the exchanges?”
Seems like that is really the idea behind the whole thing. Get more people dependent upon the federal government.
The ever helpful Kaiser Health News.
Guaranteed issue means that there is no need for high risk pools because no one will ever be ineligible for health coverage due to a health condition. The higher income people will go to what’s left of the regular insurance market, the lower income people will go to the exchanges. Medical care, of course, is not guaranteed.
One wonders why they chose “dumping,” which is anything but a neutral word.
