This seems like total bunk to me, especially this:
"We are the wealthiest country in the world, but there are still pockets of our population who are not getting the health care they need," said Mary Beth Powers, a reproductive health adviser for the U.S.-based Save the Children, which compiled the rankings based on health data from countries and agencies worldwide.
Medicare, county health departments provide prenatal and reproductive health services. WIC, TANF, Medicare and county health departments and USDA all provide post birth health and food assistance.
the care is available but people are not taking advantage of it like they should. My aunt works for a county health department and she tell horror stories everyday about morons having kids. Coming in for BC pill only to find out they are 10 weeks pregnant, yakking on their cell phone and puffing on smokes while they wait in line for extra formula they can't seem to afford. Getting mad when they have to wait for 30 minutes for their well baby visit so they can get WIC vouchers.
A buddy of mine is a paramedic in Georgia and he used to tell stories about the nastiest things he saw. His #1 is getting a call of a woman in labor in the section 8 housing known as "the bottoms". He said they never went for their prenatal care, had no clue what to do, unclean, and nasty. they just call an ambulance when it hurts.
What these "shame on the USA" haters have to get through their think skulls is that we provide a hell of alot but you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink. Shiftless, lazy, retarded morons are impregnated everyday and don't have enough self respect or responsibility to care for themselves, their pregnancies or babies and a free round trip limo ride to the Mayo clinic wont change it.
