It can be <$6,000 cash and I wouldn’t be surprised.

This is the figure I once heard:

Delivering a baby with awesome health care plan: $12,000, you pay $2,000 (of course you pay more monthly for having this plan)

With mediocre health care plan: $8,000 and you pay $3,000

Without health care plan: $4,000 and you pay all of it.

The same $4,000 care is priced based on how much money they can get from you (or your plan)

Same delivery

Off topic, boy, am I glad to see my favorite sub in Lemmy!

Oh heck yeah. This looks great!
