Comments on: Poverty and the Rise of NICU Babies http://kelbycarr.com/poverty-and-the-rise-of-nicu-babies/ Social media consultant, speaker, pioneer of the social blog, founder and CEO of Type-A Parent and Type-A Parent Conference, social networking online since 1984 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Ella http://kelbycarr.com/poverty-and-the-rise-of-nicu-babies/comment-page-1/#comment-23413 Ella Mon, 26 Sep 2011 21:19:00 +0000 http://kelbycarr.com/?p=154#comment-23413 To say that police, firemen, and EMTs (and any other professional for that matter) don't pay that much less than physicians for their educations is INSANE.  I've thought about going to medical school many times, and no matter how many ways I configure it, I'm never able to justify the cost.  People want to complain that they are entitled to services and technology without ever pausing to consider actual cost.   Nothing is free.  No resource is unlimited.  There is a cost to everything that is consumed.  Someone always has to pay.  Why do you believe that other people should pay for all the costs that you or your child incur?

If a woman is so impoverished and can't afford thing, well then, she shouldn't be getting pregnant. Going to medical school and learning the craft of medicine is very expensive. A doctor then has to pay high malpractice insurance, pay his office and billing staff, etc. This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. I personally know a physician who pays close to $35,000 a year in malpractice insurance and it's required by law that he does so. I disagree to a point with your post.

You can neglect the loans, the years of lost income during school and training, the challenging years of residency and the fact that 25-weekers commonly survive well (versus 30-weekers struggling years ago)! It costs money for advanced equipment and advanced nursing and advanced facilities...have insurance (or Medicaid) pay for it or the government can tax you mercilessly (Oh, Canada!) to pay for it. Take your pick...but don't complain when no one wants to train to be a neonatologist and save your premies.

No mother or baby should ever be refused of health care because of finances. I hope one day we can move to universal health care like so many other countries have already done.
