"When you're a new mother, you're very well taken care of in France," says Rodwin, a professor of health policy at New York University, who is also affiliated with the International Longevity Center. "They take very good care of their mothers when they're pregnant. There's, of course, no problem of uninsured mothers. They get good prenatal care, and they have house visitors - nurses who come to the house and help the first week."
