I did not mean exactly that, but this happens too.

Not every new parent can afford the expense of birth. So the hospitals try and squeeze out as much as they can from every party to try and even it out.

As a high income earner, I'm specially vulnerable to this practice.

No judge or newspaper or activist has particular empathy that I got charged $200k for a delivery or $6k for an 2 mile ambulance ride.

I can afford to pay it so why am I being so picky about it?




Are you serious with the $200k?!?


You seem surprised.

It's such a regular occurrence that it does not make news anymore.

Much higher amounts make the news now:
