Our daughter is due on Christmas Day. We’re very excited and very nervous, primarily because if she’s born a week late, our health-insurance deductible resets and a routine birth will cost us somewhere in the ballpark of $11,000. If she’s born this year, we’re in the clear.

Pretty sure they have doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and janitors in all the other hospitals around the world. For example, the Netherlands has the highest paid doctors in the world, and without insurance it costs less than $630. Cash. The average is $10,800 here...pic.twitter.com/p6iLDMPCw8
Are you really claiming that difference between your potential $11k bill and the Dutch $700 bill is insurance company profits? Single payer health insurance may be the right policy, but it’s certainly not magic
