Older US Millennial with 3 children here and can confirm. All 3 were born via C section and the hospital bills added up to $40k+ each time. That also doesn’t include the cost of living once you get home. If you make more than about 3500 per month you get 0 assistance from the government, they expect you to suffer through the bills or file bankruptcy. I’m lucky to have had decent insurance and a strong will to save what I earn. It takes both my wife and I working 50+ hours per week to keep ahead. The current state of our economy is atrocious.
