Years ago I did some postpartum home visits for a local hospital. Certain ins companies allowed for 1 visit from a nurse - the hospital was reimbursed by saud company. All's anyone cared about was sending a "body" to that visit. If I had a concern about a mom or baby - no one seemed to "give a hoot". It was about filling out the paper work (which was poorly written) so they could charge ins. I was disgusted by the whole thing. All "fluff" as I call it
In the US -it's about the money and hard enough to staff LC's in hospitals. When they ate the first cut that is made
