Unfortunately, healthcare choices HAVE BECOME a political issue. Especially in the state where i live.

There are not many options for those of us who do not practice the religion of ALLOPATHY.

This prsonally relevant to me as i'm hoping to give birth at home in 3 months, and STILL can't find a LOCAL midwife to assist.
There are currently two direct entry midwives on trial, and this is creating fear among the community.

At this point, i'm considering an unnasisted homebirth (i'm 5 min. from the hospital, should trouble arise)
Trying to find a LOCAL doctor is also a challenge, because many won't accept you as a patient unless you "believe in" immunizations, therefore in emergency situations there is noone to call on.
