“’It’s getting it right the first time,’ Kearns said. ’Every child deserves that, no matter where their ZIP code is.” Dan Holtmeyer, “$500,000 Donation to Boost Childhood Cancer Treatment.” NADG (April 15, 2017). Spoken by Dr. Greg Kearns, chief research officer of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital system regarding the gift to the Arkansas Children’s Northwest hospital. Wonderful sentiments, and surely applicable to the equal protection from neglect and abuse of all infants, toddlers, and pre-adolescents. Every child deserves that. Just because the challenge is much larger than children afflicted with cancer should be no excuse for failure to prevent harm. Protection of all children is a function of affirmative government embraced by people of all ideologies.

*Tracy
Neal. “Decatur Woman Admits Guilt in
Death of 2-month-okld Son.” NADG (April 29, 2017). (But oddly the story as reported did not
establish Molly Sullivan’s reckless causation.
Watch for later reports. –Dick)

child out of his crib and dropping him, police said.” NADG (May
3, 2017).
Conclusion: rather than the hypocritical US system of
claiming to be #1/the exceptional nation, a nation that loves its mothers and children,
we should imitate the French or more than a dozen other nations that walk their
talk. --Dick

INFANT CARE IN FRANCE
NPR: France's Model Health Care For New Mothers.
July 10, 200812:00 AM ET.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92116914
Heard on Morning Edition
JOSEPH SHAPIRO
Mary Lou Sarazin went to Paris to teach. When the job ended, she
was newly married to a French husband and pregnant. Her visa had expired,
however, and she couldn't renew it right away, so she returned to New York a
little over a year ago to finish graduate school and have the baby.
Sarazin, 34, has since received health care in both France and
the United States. Her experience has given her a firsthand look into why
France has earned a reputation for being a good place to be pregnant and have a
child.
In New York, pregnant and unable to find work, Sarazin couldn't
find health insurance that she could afford. Eventually, she did get limited
coverage through New York Medicaid, the state program for the poor and
uninsured, but it only covered her prenatal and hospital care. Once the baby
was born, she would be uninsured again.
"I just felt like when I was in New York, it was always
stress, stress, stress," she says. "I just didn't like the care I was
receiving. And I didn't want to stress out about something I shouldn't have to
stress out, not at the time of my pregnancy."
France's Model
At the
same time, a good friend back in Paris was also pregnant. She kept telling
Sarazin about her easy access to prenatal care, the nurses who made home visits
and how she'd already gone on paid job leave, months before her baby was due.
So Sarazin
headed back to Paris to have her baby.
"In
France, it just seems that it's so family oriented," she says. "A
pregnant woman is seen and regarded as a special moment."
On a
cheery spring day, Sarazin finds a park bench in the sun with Ludivine, her
daughter, who was born in November. Ludivine has curious brown eyes. She's
bundled in a knitted pink sweater and matching booties made by her French
grandmother. Mother and daughter get approving smiles from people who pass by.
"One
thing I love about here is, once you have a baby, people are the nicest,"
Sarazin says. "They're just incredibly, incredibly kind."
In France,
she has found affordable health care that's easy to get and easy to use.
Medications are provided free or at a deep discount by the national health
insurance system. National insurance also reimburses 70 percent of the cost of
a visit to a doctor. The rest gets picked up by supplemental insurance, which
Sarazin and her husband, a municipal bus driver, purchase for a small monthly
fee. Almost 90 percent of people in France have supplemental insurance, and
it's often paid in full or in part by one's employer.
Sarazin
says she misses the United States. However, if she and her husband have more children,
she says they'll stay in France.
Complications At Home
Tanya
Blumstein is another American mother who experienced health care when she was
pregnant in both the United States and in France.
On a
Friday afternoon, she and her husband, Tomas Lacronique, pick up their
14-month-old daughter, Ella, at the home of a nearby day care provider. Ella
puts out her arms and squeals in delight. The private day care is heavily
subsidized by the French government.
Tanya
moved to France after college to work in the film industry. After she met
Tomas, his company sent him to work in New Jersey, so they traveled back and
forth between Paris and New York. When Tanya got pregnant, she moved to
Manhattan to be with him.
In the
United States, Tomas had insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield. Tanya couldn't
get on his policy, however, because they weren't yet married. She tried to buy
health insurance for herself, but every American insurer turned her down.
The
reason: She was pregnant.
"They
said, 'We don't insure a house on fire,' " she says, remembering the
unpleasant euphemisms insurance agents used to explain their rejections.
"I had a 'pre-existing condition,'
which was pregnancy. I just couldn't believe it."
Blumstein
and Lacronique went to City Hall in New York and got married, and then she was
added to her husband's insurance. But even then, they found the American system
daunting. There were so many decisions to make, so much terminology to figure
out and so much care to coordinate. Their insurance covered major things, such
as the labor and delivery, but not totally. And other care, like hiring a
midwife, was considered "out of network," which meant the couple
would have to pay for a lot of it themselves.
"I
have my notes here," Tanya says in the family's walk-up apartment in
Paris, as she pulls out a stack of papers. "I was trying to navigate all
this. And so, my questions: I was like, wait, what is deductible out of
network? What is co-insurance? Will they pay at New York rate if submitted to
local, because it was a New Jersey thing? And first visit $3,000, follow-up
$175. Out-of-pocket L and D package is $5,000. And then this midwife is only
out of network — $7,500 fee for being out of network, plus deductible."
Tanya and
Tomas loved living in New York and being in a country where there was so much
choice and where it was so easy to be a consumer — except, as they found out,
when it comes to health care.
"Everything
is so simple when want to get a cab, or rent a car, or take out, eat fast
food," Tomas says. "But once it gets to serious issues — your health
— then it gets hellish."
Late in
her pregnancy, Tanya left Tomas in New York and returned to Paris to have her
baby. Tomas later changed jobs to be with his family in France.
The Best In The World
Tanya says
health care in France is a lot easier to
use. There is a neighborhood health clinic, where she can show up with the
baby anytime, with or without an appointment. She gets letters from a local
health authority telling her what benefits are available and when she should
come to a clinic with her daughter for her regular checkups.
When Ella
got a stomach flu earlier this year, a doctor made a house call at 3 a.m. on a
Sunday. It was paid for entirely by health insurance.
This is
the kind of comprehensive coverage that gets France's health care rated the
best in the world by the World Health Organization. It's also why France has
some of the world's lowest infant
mortality rates and some of the highest birth rates in Europe.
To the
French, all of this care is intended to help
parents succeed and to make sure children grow up healthy, says Victor
Rodwin, who studies the French health care system.
"When
you're a new mother, you're very well taken care of in France," says
Rodwin, a professor of health policy at New York University, who is also
affiliated with the International Longevity Center. "They take very good
care of their mothers when they're pregnant. There's, of course, no problem of
uninsured mothers. They get good
prenatal care, and they have house visitors — nurses who come to the house
and help the first week."
House Calls
Those visiting nurses are key to making the
system work. They're sponsored by their local Maternal and Infant Protection
Service and are sent to make home visits to pregnant women and to parents and
their babies.
Nadege
Heurtebise is one of those nurses in the city of Chartres. She wears black
Chuck Taylor sneakers and drives a small car to the brightly painted apartment
of Isabelle and Yannick Fourcade. Their son Clement was born two weeks ago.
The nurse
asks how the baby sleeps and eats. She tells the parents about vaccination
schedules and well-baby visits, and about their options for subsidized day
care. She weighs the baby and then watches the mother breast-feed to see if
there are any problems.
The visit
takes an hour, which is about average for a home visit. It costs the young
parents nothing. There is not even paperwork to sign.
On the
drive back to her office, Heurtebise explains that there is an advantage to going to a family's home
instead of waiting for the family to come to the doctor. In the home, the nurse
can spot a problem before it becomes dangerous, such as a child who is not
eating or parents who are doing something incorrectly.
"I
never tell them what they're doing is wrong," Heurtebise says. "I
just tell them something else is possible."
For almost
all of her home visits, though, her job is simply to reassure new parents that
they are indeed doing a good job.
Everything But The Laundry
One thing nurses do not do
is the family's laundry, contrary to what some Americans may think after
watching the Michael Moore documentary Sicko. The movie
contains a memorable scene where a state worker goes to a new mother's home to
do her wash.
Back at Heurtebise's
office, her boss, Dr. Marie-Paule Martin, says she saw Sicko, too.
"I
had a great laugh," she says with a smile. "With Michael Moore, it's
very caricature."
A
state-paid housekeeper will do a mother's laundry only in certain situations,
she says, such as when there is a medical complication after the birth. Or, in
situations where there is reason to think a mother is neglecting her children,
workers may go in to try to stabilize the family.
Even
without laundry service, French health care comes at a high cost. There are questions about how long France can sustain
it. The health system ran a nearly $9 billion deficit last year. The government
of President Nicolas Sarkozy has since proposed that people should pay more of
the cost for their own care.
Nonetheless,
even under pressure to put the system back in the black, the basic
benefits
to mothers and their children remain the same.
