- 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.
Yeah, but you pay higher taxes!!!
All seriousness aside MY taxes went to that card from the state that covered most of our bills, and for the life of me I can't understand why more people don't want that for themselves and others.
My wife had surgery last year and among the $3500.00 not covered my insurance was an hourly charge for her to sit in a room and recover. I honestly said out loud that had I known that I would have rented a room at the local hotel for her to sit it in and saved thousands of dollars.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
