Jacky Rosen: “If we don't have qualified medical professionals everywhere…”

“This is something that is obviously disproportionately impacting doctors, but also patients and anyone who cares about this issue. And even a healthy pregnancy, deliveries can be fraught with danger. So If we don't have qualified medical professionals everywhere to help with what are hopefully uneventful pregnancies and healthy deliveries, this is still going to impact the limiting of OB GYNs wherever they are, whatever state they are, because they're fearful is going to eliminate care in all circumstances. Would you agree with that, too? Yes, I think. And it put us all at risk. It puts us all at risk. I think doctors are rightfully fearful and I think patients are rightfully fearful.” (07:42–08:05)
