It’s one of the hardest games to play. When forced to engage in unheard-of budget cutting, Massachusetts, like every state, must play the dicey stakes of determining which areas to cut and which to preserve. Not all of its decisions have been prudent, however—recently, state funding for families with disabled members was cut to the tune of $78 million. This budgeting decision represents both an unethically blind approach, and a financially shortsighted venture...

The doctors who write AMA policy are also very clear that hospital care is the only prudent care. In 2008, the AMA passed its much-argued-over Resolution 205, which states flatly that, "the safest setting for labor, delivery and the immediate post-partum period is in a hospital or a birthing center within a hospital."
