The health care system is broken?

This story of a man delivering his own baby gathered many comments about how broken our health care system is. I'm not sure it is though.

In this case, it seems like the delivery went significantly faster than expected. People are also making a big deal about the fact that the doctor wasn't in the room. My experience last summer was that the doctor doesn't necessarily need to be there for the actual delivery. The first hour post birth is the most important one for him/her to be there.

I'm just surprised at how much anger there is about our health care system. I'm also very disillusioned. And studying seems even more important if I need to prove to my patients that I'm not the fool they seem to think doctors are.
