Continuing that sentence... > ...unless of course we needed a C-section, in which case it’ll be a casual $30,000. In India, we got c-section done in a luxurious hospital in a suite ward for slightly over $1K. About 80% of that was covered by insurance. Even if it wasn't that kind of money is a typical middle class family in India can easily afford. Note that I'm talking about top of the line hospital so the median cost for a c-section is somewhere around $500. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really blown away by that kind of cost difference. In a developed country shouldn't health be more affordable? No wonder medical tourism is on the rise in India.
