We’re investing a lot of money to train more people to work in rural America, and we’re also using telehealth tools, so you have large, sophisticated urban centers that are adopting smaller facilities, clinics, so they can help moms give birth no matter where they live. You don’t have to drive across the state to get there. As great as all of that is, and as great as it was to have fifty governors, in this case, uh, Mr. President, even the Democratic governors are on board. This is a very good offer. Um, it’s such a great way to keep your employees healthy that everyone has adopted this program.

Moms need to be healthy enough to be able to do the most creative thing the universe knows: make babies.
