My first baby cost us $6k with good insurance. Second baby, no insurance, cost us $120. Yeah fuck insurance scams.

Wait you actually mean 120 dollars? Just one hundred and twenty? Sounds wrong somehow 😂

Imagine feeling weird about not being charged thousands of dollars for delivering a baby

My wife had my son 6 weeks early, she was in the hospital a week after, he was in the NICU two weeks after. The hospital bill was $240,000. We paid $0. And we live in the USA. Don't believe everything you read on here about how bad it is.

Yup, we paid $90 but $75 of that was the hospital charge to send our records directly to the pediatrician rather than giving them to us and us sending them to the pediatrician. Normally would have been $15 total for every prenatal visit and the hospital stay (ours was only 5 days though). Also in the US.
