the labor word. every mother here gets a private room and even the option of a water birth. >> 100 euros you pay. and you get almost the 50% back as reimbursement. >> reporter: that's under $60 to have a baby. compared to the u.s., where the average natural birth $1000 and insurance doesn't cover all of it. can what finland is doing, be replicated in a country like the u.s.? >> definitely. >> reporter: you're saying there's no reason that the u.s. can't achieve this? >> no. no reason. but pure politics, i think, yeah. >> reporter: the maternal death rate in the u.s. has nearly doubled over the last three decades. in finland, they've cut it in half. at a play group in helsinki, we met laura smith from detroit, who is living her with her finish husband and her 10-month-old baby, ella.

maternal death rates are even higher for african-american women, one of the reasons laura chose to have ella in finland instead of back home. >> my concerns mattered. my voice mattered. they saw me. they took care of me. no matter what i look like. that's something i couldn't be certain about in the states. >> reporter: mother and baby are also entitled to free check-ups. these are vaccinations. >> yes. >> reporter: when ella goes to day care, that will cost less than $100 a week. it's all paid for with tax dollars. the wealthy hand over much more in finland than the u.s. >> we're collecting a lot of taxes. but if you go and ask finns, are they okay with that? everybody says yes. we have gotten used to that system. >> reporter: the system began in the 1930s, when finland started handing out free baby boxes to new families, filled with basic

necessities. oh, look. they're still giving them out today. the box doubles as a makeshift cot. it's so cute. and the government also wants parents to spend time with their babies. in finland, you're guaranteed around four months paid maternity leave by law. and parents can then split another six months paid parental leave, but not at the same time. for ellen and julienne, that's more time spent with their three daughters. in some parts of the u.s. you get no paid maternity leave. >> how do you do then? >> reporter: the long, frozen winter in finland is hard. but this is one country where they're trying to make parenthood easier. nobody who we met in finland bragged about their success. rather, they're trying to improve things even further. for instance, by encouraging

more fathers to take paternity leave. and that government minister you saw, i trying to >> dr. stanley: remember this: cannot change the laws of god.
