      I just had two kids back to back. Both born in California and at Kaiser. The only thing we had to pay for was my wife’s post-partum medication, I think $50 total between both kids.

      All prenatal appointments/care? Covered. Two separate scares where wife was admitted overnight? Covered. Both births with epidurals and overnight stays and meals(for mom)? Covered. We didn’t even pay for parking.

      Idk if it’s because we planned this and intentionally had a HMO plan, but wanted to share my recent experience.

        So when my wife was have an emergency with our first she had to be rushed to the hospital (non network). My insurance would not cover and that one visit was almost 200k.

        Dont get me started on the cost from the actual birth. Since it too happened out of network.

    The reason circumcision is common in the US has more to do with people like RFK jr. than it does with people like Epstein.

    That woman looks like a sex robot. Maybe just a bad picture? There’s something odd about her face.
