There is de jure force and there is de facto force. This is certainly de facto force, if you can't get coverage. My insurance paid for my midwife, but they covered at a lower rate. However, I knew what the C-section rates were like, and given my family history I saw no reason why I would be likely to need one. I had all 3 of my kids naturally, and the births were easy- and fast. For my second we were only in the birthing room about 15 minutes before we had my son, and my daughter took maybe 1/2 hour. But without a midwife those easy deliveries could have ended up scheduled C-sections for liability reasons. Yuck. All my friends who have kids were forced in to C-sections. I imagine not all of those were necessary- given the dismal statistic on this.
