  Indian here. Everybody’s calling this a US thing, but isn’t this a standard way to get a baby to cry so it knows how to breathe?

    It is a joke about US insurance.

    I was born in China. Immediatly got a massive fine for the crime of being the 2nd child. 💀

    I was lucky they didn’t just abort me. (government people didn’t stop my birth in time…)

  Just grit your teeth and bear it, baby. If you were an adult, you’d wish you’d just gotten spanked instead of having your life ruined.

      Baby, don’t grit your hidden teeth. They’ll bleed, and you don’t have insurance, baby.

  At least in the US, the mother’s health insurance policy (assuming she has one) will automatically extend to cover children born while the mother is under coverage.

    assuming she has one

    Aaaand there’s the rub. Poor and pregnant? You can just go fuck yourself.

      Yeah it gets a little bit… psychotically dystopian at that point. Most likely the child will be enrolled in medicaid (or CHIP or similar state programs, assuming we still have any of those I haven’t checked today…), and they will receive necessary care until they’re discharged. But hey, it’s the US, that’s not guaranteed.

      The baby, keenly aware of their lack of insurance and the implications of growing up poor in America, asks the nurse for a 4rth trimester abortion.

      There are a lot of “state options” for the poor, but these are often terrible and only cover the most basic services. You may not even qualify for this in some states depending on requirements. Like, a lot of places now won’t provide any assistance without an address, monthly interviews or check-ins AND proof of income.

    That was not the case with my sister. She has pretty good insurance and had really good care. She ended up making a phone call an hour or two after her premature baby was born to add her to the policy because her now uninsured baby was in the NICU.

      I don’t have the details of your sisters insurance plan (I dont think, at lwast) so I can’t say what specifically happened. I can say that that is remarkably rapid, far faster than is required under the Newborns act, so I suspect there were either some complciating factors or an abnormal degree of urgency on the part of the hospital billing department that I cannot address. Unfortunately anecdotes that rely on PHI are difficult to diagnose wile maintaining privacy of the person in question.
