Having lived in US and in a few countries with completely free healthcare, I'd have to correct you that the really weird experience is going to a hospital and getting a 6 figure bill.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoA $100k+ bill in the USA would be weird too. Assuming you are insured (86%), most people would get a bill for $3k to $10k (including C section and epidural). Legally, the most it could be is $18k. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/health-insurance.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/health-insurance.htm https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/out-of-pocket-maximum-limit https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/out-of-pocket-maximum-li...
- borissk 4y agoWell I guess the remaining 14% of the population are just weird :) I didn't mean only going to hospital for labor and birth.
