I hate being reminded that it costs money to go to the hospital and get your baby delivered in the US. Yeah it's super expensive having a kid but i didn't have to pay $10k+ to have it removed from my partner

All "healthcare" executives should experience their skin being flayed from their bodies

"skin to skin" hospital bill

Wtf, what is the hospital doing here?

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

It's a fee for allowing the mother to hold her baby because that's how fucked up our society is

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

$40 a minute fee for breathing

The US is really keen on disproving any claims of labour aristocracy huh

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

I was under the impression many people just don't pay hospital bills?

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

That's what I'd probably do

-1000 credit score checkmate tankie

I think you can renegotiate the bill and do really low monthly payments if you end up in that situation

Tho now that you mention it I don’t think Ive ever noticed my credit score being affected much by the medical bills I never payed

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
