U.S. Rep. and Doctor Michael Burgess Discusses Maternal Mortality

On this week’s episode, we discuss the hard issue of maternal mortality. In the US, approximately 700 women die each year from pregnancy-related deaths which is the highest rate in the developed world. Representative Michael Burgess joins to help us understand why mothers are dying in pregnancy and childbirth and what can be done to prevent it.

Rep Michael Burgess has served the constituents of the 26th District of North Texas since 2003. He is the most senior medical doctor in the house and has been a strong advocate for health care legislation aimed at reducing health care costs, improving choices, reforming liability laws to put the needs of patients first, and ensuring there are enough doctors in the public and private sector to care for America’s patients and veterans.
