Its just so frustrating though, cutting obstetrician and IVF from the safety net is NOT GOING TO HELP! Do they not understand that people paying for Obstetricians, would otherwise go to the public system, where the government would have to pay anyway? And IVF patients will become more likely to transfer more than one or two embryos because they cant afford subsequent cycles - therefore increasing the chance of multiples, who surprise surprise, are a financial burden on the public system. It's like these people have no brains.

They just handed out a 42 billion dollar "stimulus package", whereas the safety net is only 300 million dollars a year. Is anyone else noticing that these figures dont add up???
