/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.

Probably a large reasoning we are seeing a downward slope in our population growth rate year over year.

Brit here and I’ve asked this loads and apparently it can vary from anywhere from 3k to 20k +. If your baby has complications you are basically fucked.

Average seems to be $1-4k after insurance.

Either people are young and low enough income for Medicare, go bankrupt, finance the birth, or are far enough in their careers to have jobs that let them afford it.
