This January my family will have our 2nd home birth and I have spoken to local representatives to encourage the liscensure of midwives in the state of Ohio. This morning I decided to see if there was any information regarding where Ron Paul stands on the issue and was so excited to find this video.

Before I start sharing this with my home birthing community I would like help clarifying his statement that he thinks there shouldn't be licensing for physicians. I know this will come up, so I'd like to be prepared since I have a hard time verbalizing my thoughts at times.
Also, one reason this issue is so important is because insurance companies generally do not cover home births. Medicaid certainly does not cover a home birth despite the fact that in most births they would save a lot of money. This currently makes this choice unavailable to many healthy pregnant mothers. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
