My daughter spent 6 weeks in the NICU after being born 10 weeks early and her bill was $1.8 million.

I guarantee you this is why our country is in severe debt… charging us for delivering a baby, if the baby is sick, if it’s born “sleeping”, if WE “sleep” after the baby is born.. like.. we cannot escape debt

My husband & I both got laid off 3 weeks before I had an emergency c section at 24 weeks. He is now 40 weeks. Still going. I can’t even imagine what our bill is. Losing our insurance right before this all happened

I was born at 27 weeks and I know for a fact that my bill was at least a million. My parents said it was a major source of stress for them and probably lead to their divorce lol

Mind you without women giving birth our human race would go extinct eventually. Birth should be either more affordable or free.

My brother was born 2 months early. Thankfully my brother’s dad was in the military so it was all covered

Me and my twin were 1.5 million in the nicu for a month. My parents both had really good insurance and were nurses so they didn’t have to pay.

The fact is, people won’t be able to cover these costs. Period. So the true cost is everything they have, whatever it is. I can’t think of any greater act of exploitation.
