I’m not American so maybe I’m getting something wrong… But aren’t you making a faulty assumption about people having a plan at all? Isn’t the amount of completely uninsured in the us in the double digits or something?
Comment on How do poor people in the states give birth without money?
lemmyman@lemmy.world 8 months agoAre you familiar enough with the details to share them? Because this sounds strange to me - every plan has an out of pocket maximum and the highest I’ve seen is $14k. Are you including premiums? Do the costs span multiple years?

This was pre-Obamacare, and the birth alone - with c section - was $20k.
