Hilarious. Based on the quoted below, I personally fit this description to a Tee...as do many of my personal friends and acquaintances which leads me to strongly believe you ARE the company you keep. Be VERY discerning.

I studied public health in Florida back in the day. I think a dilemma facing older moderate "conservatives" in my age group of Generation X is that their daughters are dealing with horrible access to "ob/gyn" for specialized care. That set of specialists has largely left "conservative" regions due to the stringent changes to healthcare regulations on prenatal health. The regulations cause massive restrictions and potential for criminal arrest, loss of license, etc. from the side of the government. On the side of the patient, the specialist is at risk for higher malpractice due to restrictions in the "gray area" and the simple fact that there aren't enough of them to go around. If the number of such specialists becomes very small, it becomes more likely for them to make mistakes with such a massive base of patients that far exceed a normal load.

This means prenatal care is higher risk these days. A patient may have to drive a very long distance to find obstetric care which becomes "rationed." Moreover, the odds are that a "strict conservative" parent of Generation X has somewhat moderate-to-liberal daughters who are now facing this health care crisis of access to specialists while in pregnancy. I would bet this situation is a factor in the "undertow" of Republicans who are leaving. Ironically, they may wind up in more liberal areas precisely because of this reason.

But don't take my word for it. Readers can ask women trying to find an "ob/gyn" for prenatal care. It's not easy these days as I understand it.

Ob/gyns have been getting out of the ob part due to crazy malpractice rates for decades. The current environment sure isnt helping things though.
