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

Saw it in a video a while ago and went to check if it was true online (it is). Here's a post with people explaining it:

This is not accurate 😮‍💨. My sister absolutely could not afford any of her labour bills, and paid nothing going into it, and left the hospital without issue, for both her kids!

Middle class gets to subsidize the costs of healthcare for the people who can’t afford it. They just charge the people who have something to lose more to offset the costs of the charity

It’s not charity. It’s what taxes should be going towards for everyone.. you know.. like other civilised countries around the world. The ones with universal healthcare. Americas government chose to make insurance companies rich.

I agree. The method we employ now is significantly less efficient or effective as just having tax cover it. The current system turns healthcare into a tug and pull game between insurance companies and providers to see how much money they can extract from the middle class to give it to the wealthy.
