The U.S. is most dangerous place for childbirth, according to new investigation

More women die in childbirth in the United States than in any other developed country, according to a USA Today investigation. Each year, 700 American mothers die and 50,000 women experience life-altering complications -- and experts say 50 percent of these deaths could be prevented if the women are given better care. Dr. Zaher Merhi joins CBSN to talk about the danger of childbirth in the United States.
