Yesterday I made a post that went viral of a young couple showing it cost around $40,000 to have a baby in America today

Baby Boomer Generation explains how when there was no health insurance, she only paid $300 to have a baby

Something is VERY WRONG in America

“People asked, well, how did baby boomers afford to have children back in the 1960s and early 70s if there was no health insurance? Other than employer health insurance, there was no health insurance. So when I had my first child in 1969, it cost total of $300. That was everything.

— There was no health insurance. You just paid cash. So the doctors couldn't charge very much because there were no health insurance companies to pay for it”
