I agree Kirsten. If I read between the lines what is really going on is inaccurate documentation. Probably the lifestyle or cosmetic elective c/births were already not covered and so enterprising OB's were writing them all up as emergent/medically indicated. So, once again all get penalised. There must be a better way. marilyn
