One of the weirdest and most telling parts of the American healthcare system is that my 5-day old infant already has $3,000+ of medical debt in her own name for being born and receiving care.

On top of the $4,000+ my wife has. And that’s just the deductibles. The total for both is actually around $14,000 for just the standard birth with zero complications. Why do we punish birth?

Replying to @cath_tastic
This is what middle class deals with. Upper class doesn’t have to worry about it. The poor get subsidized birth so it’s free, which means they need more overnment assistance to care for the growing family, which means they’ll likely only vote for one party. As will the kids.
