- pre-birth room (for 1 day)
- Caesarian performed
- PRIVATE post-birth room (for 3 days)
- 7 lunches (4 for my wife)
- 6 dinners (3 for my wife)
- 7 breakfasts (3 for my wife. Was weird at what times we ate lol)
- unlimited snacks and sandwiches (whatever they had available, of course)
- 2 dedicated nurses, 'round the clock and their 2 aides
- Toques (beanies), blankets, baby nutrition books, a few other goodies.
Total cost of all that? $47.90. And that was only because I had to pay for my meals: my wife's were free.
US health system is so ass-backwards (like a ton of things in the country), it is laughably saddening.
This is what being civilized means.
Country of freedom my ***.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
