Florida allowing clinics to perform C-sections outside of the hospital is a horrendous handout to private equity on the backs of women and babies.
For perspective, driving DOWN the C-section rate is literally a quality metric for hospitals. Widespread availability elective C-sections doesn’t improve outcomes, can cause future complications, and of course C-sections are high-risk, often frenetic surgeries. This should not be performed somewhere that doesn’t have NICU and ICU services, period.
