The third problem is most of rural America is aging and well beyond baby having years so the volume of babies is one or two a month. No money to be had there.

That may be the case where you are, but certainly not in rural LA. Most births here are to Medicaid patients, which basically means, it costs the parents nothing, and since they are almost always on welfare, they receive more money each month.

What the government subsidizes, it encourages.
