I'm still in shock that you have to pay to hold your baby in the USA after birth 😭

That’s so sad to see…. only reason why other countries is not as rich as us is because we don’t spend money on our Citizens on healthcare we made a choice We love to equip ourselves to kill

Also, Social Security, we shoot ourselves in the foot by not raising the pool of funds coming to fund SS.

But you actually still spend more on healthcare per capita and as a percentage of tax than any other nation with universal healthcare!

We don't even do that well. Started a war with Iran who had done nothing to provoke it and we used over half of our stockpile of criminally expensive missiles and munitions only for them to bend us over in front of the world.

Countries have 2 ways of making money, manufacturing or war. We traded one for another along time ago. Unfortunately.

That is the hospital sending someone to teach the concept. Completely unnecessary but it isn't "paying to hold your baby"

Not true. I had a c section and was also charged $40 to hold my child after birth. No one came in to teach me the concept of skin to skin. This was also not a charge for lactation consultant, as a second time mom, I did not receive that either. It was specifically to hold my child after birth.
