Normal child birth, no complications. Cost in florida is $44,000!!

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Family of 5 pays $30,000 a year for health insurance!!! This is due to the stinking illegals who by law get FREE healthcare at hospital ERs.

june 30 2025 Kayla starts off the TikTok with: "This is how much it costs to give birth in America: $44,318.41. I had my little guy three weeks ago, so they definitely wasted no time sending me that bill." The social media influencer, who was in the hospital for two days, noted she had a vaginal birth with epidural and no complications.

Kayla then shares a screenshot of her itemized bill after giving birth, revealing several costs: A private one-bed room and board was $10,100, pharmacy was $89.40, anesthesia was $1,845, labor room/delivery was $10,275, and more.

Lastly, Kayla reveals that her baby received a bill, too, which added up to $12,761.30 without insurance. For their family of five now, the cost of insurance per month is $2,500 — a nearly $400 increase from when they were just a family of four.

$600 then would be like $3,600 now and that is still too high.

I know that's part of it. That doesn't explain the cost of a mere hospital bed for one night. The average in america is now over $3000.

Wow, Tranny Dick. You're quite the shrill panicky type. Isn't Florida a Red State with a MAGA governor?

That is on the cheap side. In Miami it can be over 200K

In Miami, OB/GYNs face some of the highest medical malpractice insurance costs in the nation, with average annual premiums potentially reaching $226,224, according to Physicians Thrive, and as high as $205,380, according to NerdWallet. These high costs are largely due to the high-risk nature of their specialty and the legal environment in Florida, which is known for being plaintiff-friendly.

Here's a breakdown:

• High-Risk Specialty:
  OB/GYNs handle high-stakes situations like childbirth, which can lead to unpredictable outcomes and increased risk of malpractice claims.
  
  
• Florida's Legal Climate:
  Florida is considered a high-cost state for malpractice insurance due to its legal framework, which can favor plaintiffs in malpractice lawsuits.
  
  
• Specific to Miami:
  Miami-Dade County, in particular, is known for high OB/GYN malpractice premiums, with some physicians paying over $200,000 annually, according to The Current Cost of Medical Malpractice Insurance.
  
  
• Cost Fluctuations:
  While $226,224 is a high average, premiums can vary based on factors like the specific practice, coverage limits, and the insurance company.

Hospitals have to pay for malpractice insurance too. And hospitals have a very high employee to patient ratio.

Remember hospitals employ Doctors, Nurses, Respiratory techs, X Ray techs, food service, Nurses aides, Business office personnel, HR, Social workers, and Physical Therapy, Occupational therapy, Laundry Service, maintenance and lawn keepers. and other workers. Plus construction and equipping a hospital is VERY EXPENSIVE. CAT Scanners, MRI scanners , anesthesia machines. Cardiac Cath labs etc.


Hospitals can do so much more than they could 75 years ago and patients don't want substandard care and that quality care costs...a lot to provide.

And you jumped from calling Doctors gangsters to complaining about the costs of hospital beds. Way to move the goal posts. You should also remember that doctors have on average 12 years of education after high school that means the have more student loans and a shorter amount of time to work in their careers. They need to be paid well to recover their expenses in a shorter period of time.

American healthcare is a super expensive disaster, but it is way too late for reforms..... as with the rest of our disasters we do nothing as we wait for the inevitable collapse.

We need to get rid of all health insurance including medicare and medicaid. That would bring costs down 90%.
