Abstract:
The main argument made by the author is that the women that get the proper healthcare have fewer child deaths. The author states that research shows that mothers that have proper prenatal care have a lower chance of having infant death. In North Carolina it is still risky to have childbirth because too many women do not have access to proper prenatal care. The author states that this can be remedied if North Carolina expands Medicaid. Statistics show that infant mortality rates in the state was 753 to 895 per year over the past decade. Rates have not really declined since 2007. One in five women of reproductive age reported to not have health insurance. Uninsured women do not have the same resources and counseling like their insured peers.

Abstract:
Over the course of a year, almost two million North Carolinians find themselves at risk of being unable to afford health care they need.

The state’s major response has been to participate in the federal Medicaid program, in which governments help underwrite medical care for the very poorest citizens.
