Comment on U.S. Health Care Prices are the Elephant in the Roomparent

Comments

Unfortunately things are insanely expensive via self-pay. My wife's first pregnancy was in the realm of $25-30,000 if we didn't have insurance.

And that was just a routine pregnancy with no complications...

That's unbelievable - my wife had our child at no financial cost other than taxes and had a terrible experience. If we had used an obstetrician that we paid for out our pocket and she had a Caesarian (I only we had taken that option) it would have cost US$2500 - that's all inclusive with pre birth and post delivery visit and checks. New Zealand.
