Pregnant Haitian Women Crossing To DR to Give Birth
People do that in the United States mainly because they want their kids to be US Citizens but in the Haiti-Dominican case it's different....
FREE Healthcare... That's the reason!
The Washington Post says...
Haitian women make up roughly half of the patients giving birth in Dominican hospitals, officials here say. They come because they don't have access to health care in Haiti, especially since last year's earthquake.
They come because they can get free health care in the Dominican Republic each year, and so that they can have their babies in hospitals instead of on the floors of their homes...
How is the healthcare system in Haiti compared to that of the Dominican Republic?
Perhaps you can answer that...

This is something that I do not even want to comment on, Because, It shameful and very frustrating, But when you sitdown, analyse, take a good look at the situations which we're in ;They have no choice.The only thing, I wish our neighbors treat them with a bit respect and dignity .To me even they charge us in the future for rendered services that will be a good thing.
they need to keep logs of what they have done for future references.
There is possible comparaison between the two countries, and we are living in the dark ages in Haiti.
The D.R. received massive amount of money, and supplies from the US government.
They benefited from the earthquake, and was doing fairly well before the tragedy.
