Big Pharma Teams up with Government to Shut Down Natural Birth Centers Cutting Into Hospital Profits

Hospitals are losing millions to natural birth centers and want to use government regulation to eliminate their competition. According to an employee of a Fort Mill center, Obstetricians from Rock Hill sent an email to a S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) board member in order to shut down the center. They succeeded. In September, the license for a Fort Mill birth center was suspended pending an investigation by DHEC. This shut down not only effects the Fort Mill center, but all birth centers throughout the state.
