Why Is VBAC a Vital Option?

Excerpt from the article;

"Unless the restrictions for permitting VBAC labor are revised, I believe we will gradually see the few remaining physicians who offer VBAC cease to offer this option; not because they don’t care, but because hospitals, insurance providers, and ACOG guidelines are making it too stressful, both financially and personally, for VBAC-friendly providers."

I am really not sure what the average obstetric consumer can do to affect any changes in these areas other than #1 do everything you can to avoid that first c-section in the first place so that you are not faced later on with all these VBAC hindrances or #2 if you are faced with a VBAC situation, find an excelent home birth midwife with lots of VBAC experience.
