“In medicine, we have a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." 

"We know that pregnant women that receive routine prenatal care have better outcomes. Kids that receive regular health care have better outcomes. Roughly 20% of all the women who deliver here receive a Medicaid benefit. 50% — half — of all kids in Northern Minnesota benefit from this program. Caring for pregnant women and for kids really is not a controversial topic.”
