“Y'all wanna get really, really, really depressed? Let's break this down for where I live in the USA (SWFL). Without insurance...Vaginal Birth: $31,000 - $38,000 C-Section (with no further complications): $40,000 - $45,000. For a private birthing suite PER NIGHT (does not include the cost of labor and delivery for most facilities): $1,500 - $4,000 per night So for 7 days, expect: $10,500 - $28,000 + the cost of labor and delivery which again will be $31,000 minimum. Some birthing centers may be cheaper but still are usually around $8,000 after all the supplies, midwife fees, room fees etc are totaled up. It's about about $40,000 to $70,000 at minimum if you have zero other complications, costs, or needs. Homegirl got a ticket to China and paid $1,300 total...”

“In Massachusetts you need to pay about 400 a month just to have insurance otherwise you have to pay about a thousand in taxes the next year. After you pay that amount monthly. You need to pay about 7k dollars out of pocket first before insurance covers about 2000 dollars. Meaning most births cost upwards of 25k to 30k. Your insurance even after paying 400 a month will cover 2k and you will still end up paying 23k to 28k out of pocket no matter what. It's criminal。”

“$1100 is the cost of 1 ultrasound appointment without insurance in the USA Edit: some of yall are really showing your ass in the replies and the sheer ignorance in the fact that different women require different levels of treatment and said women are in different parts of the country that have different healthcare rates and options. Just because you specifically got an ultrasound under that price point and didn't get priced gouged doesn't mean it isn't the reality for thousands of mothers across the United States. Women who face a high risk pregnancy will require more advanced ultrasounds and imaging in order to keep the mother and baby safe and healthy. It's this type of ignorance and lack of understanding that allows our politicians from both sides of the aisle to ignore the basic rights of American citizens to have access to safe and affordable healthcare.”

“It cost us about 12,000 for our daughter and took us until she was almost 5 to pay off. It cost us around 10,000 for our son and that's just the minimum for the hospital birth and epidural and the other things that they give you, that doesn't count the cost of the other things here and there like prescriptions etc. because we had to make the deductible before the insurance would pay towards the hospital bills.”
