minus-squareblue9yun@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·edit-28 months agoIt can be <$6,000 cash and I wouldn’t be surprised. This is the figure I once heard: Delivering a baby with awesome health care plan: $12,000, you pay $2,000 (of course you pay more monthly for having this plan) With mediocre health care plan: $8,000 and you pay $3,000 Without health care plan: $4,000 and you pay all of it. The same $4,000 care is priced based on how much money they can get from you (or your plan) Same delivery
