Twenty of Wisconsin’s 72 counties don’t have an OB-GYN. That means thousands of women have to either drive long distances to get the care they need, or in some cases may be forced to forgo that care entirely. That’s unacceptable to me and we need to fix it.
That’s why I worked to pass a bipartisan reform with @LisaMurkowski that would help identify areas that are lacking OB-GYNs and work to send maternity health care professionals to those areas to serve women in need. I was proud to see @POTUS sign my reform into law last year.
We know that healthier pregnancies lead to healthier babies.
I was grateful for the opportunity today to hear directly from maternal health providers at @MFLDclinic on what more we can do to make sure Wisconsin women and their babies can get the health care they need.pic.twitter.com/RyjL5G5uoc
Most who live in those areas do because the cost of living is cheaper. Bringing all the services that are available in heavy populated areas will continue to eliminate the advantages of the rural lifestyle. Not everyone wants city living
Remember not to long ago when almost every small community had a doctor practicing in there town. What happened to that service ? Can we create a business opportunity for young doctors.
There is another big health issue in Wisconsin. Because of a lack of plastic surgeons who specialize in breast reconstruction, women are not informed of options pre-mastectomy. This research is from 2004, yet little has changed.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2884720/ …
I hope Congress moves forward with a nationalized health insurance initiative; but IMO, we need legislation now requiring every health insurance policy grant access to teaching hospitals. Expertise is crucial for successful recon surgery.
There is a shortage of Medical personnel everywhere.
Personal choices of people and where they choose to live causes that. So then they expect the government to come to their aid.
