was just over $26,000. He was born healthy with no complications. I stayed in the hospital 36 hours after giving birth. We were self insured so our deductible was $12,000 and we had 70/30 co-insurance. I had to refinance my house to pay the bill.

Is ABUSE. The excuses for this bullshit are none.

Get rid of insurance and make it universal get the same level of healthcare elected officials get.

Take away republicans healthcare and tell them they won't get it until everyone has it then they'd vote for universal care in a nanosecond I bet.

No special conceirge
Insurance for rich people. Either we all get equal quality healthcare or no one rich does.
