The news atrocity I saw this morning was a report on the increased percentage of U.S. women dying in childbirth. The report mentioned the "blame the victim" possible explanations up at the top -- e.g. obesity causes complications -- and only indirectly cited the increase in the number of people who have no health insurance and no access to government-funded medical care. An uninsured woman in effect has no access to prenatal care, which is much likelier to result in fatal complications.
