Prenatal Care in L.A. County

Your articles on the shocking status of prenatal care for the poor people of this county indicate a sickening disregard for the health and lives of those unfortunate mothers and their babies. Of course, much of the blame can be placed on the poor themselves, but I think a good share of the problem can be laid on the penurious policies of our governor, and the unholy alliance of Supervisors Deane Dana, Pete Schabarum and Mike Antonovich. The county always seems to have millions of dollars to spend on land swaps and assorted give-aways, but is always short when it comes to funding health care for the indigent.
