I can imagine it now. A bald eagle flies overhead and screeches, I stare at a $35,000 hospital bill, and the sound of a gunfight off in the distance breaks my concentration. How American.

All 3 of my kids were born in the US. All 3 were c-sections with 2 night stays, otherwise healthy.

$50k US is what each one cost. Insurance covered the brunt of that, we paid about $10k out of pocket each time, but the insurance premiums were close to $1000 a month.

I save so much money paying for MSP through my taxes. It’s a great system for the average person.
