My Lord, what is wrong with American Healthcare ?
They (Vasectomies) are also strikingly little-used. About 500,000 American men have
the operation each year. More than twice as many women undergo
tubal ligation for permanent contraception, even though that operation costs three to four times as much, requires general
anesthesia and an abdominal incision, and carries a small but real risk of serious complications.
I wonder how many American women die each year because they are being offered tubal ligations and suffer major complications from the major surgery ?
Whatever the reasons in the United States, the situation is not the
same among men everywhere. By the time they reach their 50s, roughly
half of men in New Zealand have undergone vasectomies, according to Dr.
Sabanegh, compared with fewer than one in six in the United States. In
Canada, vasectomies outnumber tubal ligations.
It surely isn't 50/50 in Canada now. I've arranged probably 100 vasectomies and I've never send someone for a tubal. The only tubals I've heard about is a woman going for a C/S after baby #2 and the Gynecologist asking .. want me to do your tubes while I am in there ?
What kind of caveman husband would let his wife go for a tubal and not get the snip ?
I am sure there is a financial incentive at play here in the US. I am guessing the Gynes get big bucks for tubals and it is a money maker for the hospitals.
Reason #24601 to "completely redo" American "Health"Care.
disgusting.
