This article summarizes 10 top facts about Health Care Reform. Insurance companies will regulate more heavily. they will be told the minimum for services that they will cover. Everyone will have health insurance or they must pay a fine. Employers will be mandated to provide insurance to the employees or they will be fined also. Which sounds good to me, my employer thinks he doesnt have to give anything at all.

Many insurance do not cover midwife care in their policies.Midwife access is also limited in hospitals and many states limit the access and privileges of midwives. With healthcare costs on the rise, many families are looking at midwifery which is a far less expensive option than that of an OB. In other countries midwives do a majority of the births and maternity care which results in a fraction of the US costs.

Here's an interesting article about a study that found that births assisted by midwifes can help lower healthcare costs. It makes sense, since it would be more expensive to deliver a baby in a hospital. http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/PressRelease/pressReleaseId-107254.html
