Pay what you can up front. Tell them you will pay the rest when the job is completed. Leave hospital. Pay 25.00 per month.
You are welcome.

but someone with Medicaid pays $0 and has the government front the bill?

And probably stays in the hospital a week when the baby is born and will use the emergency room for head colds.

So I have private insurance, get hammered by federal tax income, work over 40 hours a week to provide for my family, and have to pay $4,200 cash to have a child, but someone with Medicaid pays $0 and has the government front the bill?

Thank Obama and then thank McCain’s bitch arse.



I had to leave our family business to go get a corporate job thanks to Obamacare. BC/BS coverage for a family of four on an individual policy pre-Obama: $400/month. BC/BS with less coverage and higher deductible post-Obama: $2000/month.

The gov't does everything it can to kill small business owners. They hate small businesses. Big gov't needs big business.

Hospital just called to tell us our bill to have our first child will be $4,200 out of pocket after insurance.


Sounds like you deductible for your insurance is $4200 max for a hospital stay….which will be met quickly having a baby.

OP, how much money do you spend on health insurance every month, year? Plus that $4,000 or whatever on top of that.

How much would it be if you didn't have insurance and told them you wanted to pay cash? Or why not have the baby at the house and do it yourself?

I had my kids b4 health care was affordable.

All 3 were a 10 dollar co-pay plus 1,000 max out of pocket.

I thought it was reasonable. But, you people didn’t think earning your own way and being personally accountable was the way to go. Now your peers are chopping their genitals off.

Memorial Hermann attempted to charge me $654.50 for one gram of IV acetaminophen (Tylenol) THREE YEARS



Seems like they went up on Tylenol. Before my dad passed away (this was in the late 90s) he was in and out of the hospital for over 3 years. He had a kidney transplant, etc. He worked for Albemarle and they actually used to take care of their employees, but the hospital charged $50 per Tylenol.

You can go to walmart and buy 24 Tylenol for $8.85. Back then it was probably cheaper, but at $50 a pop thats $591.15 profit for every 24 Tylenol the hospital gave to patients.

And those of 500mg pills.

When my son was born a little over 21 years ago, my co-pay after insurance was $100.

That was before Obama and the Democrats “fixed” American healthcare though.

That's the great thing about health insurance. You get to pay all of this money, and if you ever have to use it, you get to pay even more money.


My wife recently had bacterial pneumonia infection in her lungs and her doctor had her admitted to hospital because her oxygen was in the mid 70s.

Insurance tried to make us foot the 11k bill for 2 days in the hospital because they said she didn’t meet the criteria for admittance for them to cover it. Even though her dr said she could have died had she not been admitted due to her also having asthma. It’s fricking bullshite and we are still fighting with them
