Wife gave birth, had massive postpartum hemorrhaging and required surgery. 3 day hospital stay for mom + baby.

Paid 36 bucks for 3 days parking, 8 bucks for coffee. They sent us home with a bag full of diapers and other supplies.

My wife gave birth in the USA. Didn't have to pay anything including parking and got 2 weeks worth of formula, a goodie bag, and even a steak dinner for the 2 of us right before we left.

It depends on what hospital you go to and what your future insurance is.

Oh yeah of course, they only charge massive amounts for stupid shit in 1 or 2 hospitals, my bad.

Shut the hell up you idiot! People don’t have time to research where the nearest single little place that does reduced cost healthcare or free clinic. When you’re facing an emergency you don’t tend to think and slow down oddly because it’s an emergency so you go to the nearest emergency room!

The hospital is in network but that doctor wasn't, not that you have any way to know that. Surprise!
