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.



Reminds me of my workplace (I’m the trolley and others are jumping on the tracks)
