At the same time, we value our doctor's services. We want the people who work on our bodies to be comfortable and not have to worry about money. So we're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

People sue doctors frequently, so doctors need malpractice insurance. Then doctors raise their prices to pay for that malpractice insurance w/o cutting into their income. I think as much as 10c of every $1 goes towards malpractice. Then they also go overboard with testing (which adds to the price) in order to avoid making mistakes that would set them back millions.

It's hard to win.

Gerl, aren't you inbred?

Sis your avi Stan for Journey ha beauty.

Lawd , I'm shocked that you would have to pay to make sure you have a healthy birth, and I'm guessing it must be expensive as F. It's terrible tbh.

OMG Thank God for French health care. The US' one is just ridiculous.

This is a bit dramatic. Surgeries like this do not cause excruciating pain after they're completed. If anything, he probably felt drugged and light-headed.

It costs around $3,000 - $8,000 give birth in a hospital.

According to this that is: http://www.parents.com/pregnancy/con...ospital-costs/

Doctor is the richest profession in France after businessman and we don't pay that much so I don't get your point at all.

Yes.

I actually cannot right now

Here you pay the bill upfront.
Children literally die on hospital doors because their parents cannot afford to send them

So his ass should be grateful for getting 40k off his bill

Why is America rejecting Obama's plans to abolish this

Credit card gurl teas.

OMG how do you guys manage to live in a country like that? Unless all you guys there are filthy righ, I don't understand.
That would also explain why you see so many US people rejecting the Obamacare plan.

Thank God for UK healthcare

Go ahead enlighten us, spread your knowledge onto us.

Here in America, people just don't like the idea of "socialism", and most Obamacare rejection comes from abstract concepts and political belief systems. Also, we have the insurance industry who have done everything in their power to weaken Obamacare.
