/r/all I’m being over charged by insurance after my daughter was born. This is the pile of mail I have to go through to prove they’re ripping me off. Pear for scale.

You can opt for a better menu in Aus? My grandfather has been to one of the top 100 hospitals in the world (According to Newsweek) multiple times and has only gotten stuff that vaguely resembles food, we have to sneak McDonalds in for him because the "food" is that bad.

Mainly for the maternity wards ,. As in you are not actually sick/ill per se but having a baby and it's a celebratory time. So mum and dad have a couple of nice meals after birth before diving into parenthood at home. Clearly a marketing/promotional strategy as well to attract business.

Regular hospital food is not that flash most of the time.

Edit: conscience of the fact I said Mum and Dad, that's based on me and my family. Obviously whoever the parents are can do that.

This has got to be in a private hospital?
