  As a fraction of my income, my baby cost us less than 3%. Figure out how much your income went to universal health care. I'm guessing it's higher than 3%.

    Figure out how much your income Duder is hell banned, I was just reposting that dead comment. But from myself... I'm guessing it's higher than 3%. Well, of course it would be. You're comparing your baby to every heath service for his family, ever, that is covered by his universal healthcare system. Or are you saying that your baby is the only time your family has or will use heath service. If you cared to make an honest comparison, you would compare the portion of his, and his employer's income that went towards universal to your lifetime of insurance spending, plus employer spending on coverage for you, plus all of your out of pocket healthcare spending (on items that would be covered by his universal system). Now, I don't care to do that math, but here in the US we spend (gov't and private total) more per capita on heathcare than any other nation. So his kid was probably cheaper.
