Frightening that a national reporter doesn't understand how this works. Also frightening that any form of bonus or income increase would be minimized. Why are we arguing over whether or not it's good for people to have more money in their paychecks?
That $5,836 represents the cost that insurance pays, meaning policy holder pays a fraction of that amount (depending on deductible). So $1,000 may actually go a long way to paying for live birth. Could also cover about 2 years of diapers.https://twitter.com/KatyTurNBC/status/960602330918944768 …

These are the same liberals that threatened if we did not subsidize birth control for $15 a month, women everywhere in America would die.

All you have to do to put things in perspective is ask whoever for $1000 and when they scoff at you say "What? Not willing to part with your crumbs?"

Luckily that is where the cost of children end. After that it’s all free.

And a pregnancy/delivery that has complications can blow right through your out-of-pocket maximum. (That's usually much more than $1000, in case you're fortunate enough not to have to know what that is like.)

average deductible is like $945 .... plus co-pays, prenatal care, postpartum care, etc, it still comes out to be greater than $1,000 on average.

No its all bundled at the end. It's how OBs work, I paid around $1200 total for prenatal, birth, stay and postpartum appointment for me and baby!

Cost to raise one to the age of 18: Aprox. $350,000 That temporary bonus doesn’t mean squat. Wait until his healthcare costs increase.

No one pays upfront. And that's highly inflated. Kids can be super spoiled!

@KatyTurNBC If you look at her TL, there is nothing, NOTHING , that is positive towards this administration. The idea of a non-biased media is dead. Katy is nothing but a side show carnival huckster at this point. - 1 more reply

How fucking unrepentantly bourgeois do you have to be to think that a $1000 bonus is nothing but a pittance?

Don't try to confuse this brave journofirefighter with facts! She's making a nuanced point about how out of touch she is with average Americans.
