America might finally make childbirth free
An unlikely alliance is supporting a new bipartisan bill in Congress.
The high cost of childbirth in the US is a growing concern for many families. A recent video by Kayla Kosuga, a Florida mother, sheds light on this issue. Kosuga details the $44,318.41 bill she received for a vaginal birth with an epidural, outlining individual charges such as $10,100 for room and board and $10,275 for labor room/delivery. "This is just one bill," she says, highlighting the additional expenses. While her insurance covered $25,100.40, she still faced significant out-of-pocket costs. Her baby's separate bill added another $12,761.30. The video underscores the financial burden many American parents face, prompting discussions about healthcare affordability and access.
