You can have great health insurance, but not get prenatal care and as a result have a bad result. (As an example, I know someone who nearly had a tragic ending to a really stupid home birth. The story is incredible...and stupid)
What I ask, is for how much we spend, why aren't we more healthy as a group?

Spence, I apologize for not being able to finish my post before you responded to it. One of those time glitches that I run into in writing lengthy stuff and the system cuts me off. I have gone back and "edited"--that is added the rest of what I wished to say, which may, in part, be a sketchy answer to your question.
