In the face of an appalling maternal and infant mortality in a wealthy it seems absurd that a needed healthcare service, maternity care, is simply dropped because it doesn't make enough money.
Need I comment on a major city hospital that closed an excellent maternity service to make way for a cardiac intensive care service. Both probably needed but the latter makes much more money.
As you note in your report "The report recommend moving from a fee-based system toward a standby capacity payment model that makes sure the infrastructure is in place."
Those elected officials in Congress would have to be brain dead not to “know” what is happening in their rural districts--It’s about Medicaid. Doesn’t anyone wonder why this nation’s wealthiest spend BILLIONS on the RNC and yet states are pinched for the most basic infrastructure needs?

Thanks Beth. You are right. Global Budgets in HR3421 are just that. Have a good holiday
