Health Care Mess on BOTH Sides of the Border

Canadian Mothers are running from their nationalized health care system to bear children in the USA because the Socialized Canadian System doesn't work.

So US hospitals are taking up the task.

What isn't said is the cost of all this. I have someone I know and love who shall go nameless who was recently born into this world. The doc and hospital told the parents that the bill for all this would be about $8-10,000 all told. That seemed plenty high to me. But, I'm old. I remember the bill for our kids. Tim, $600 Kevin $1100. The bill for this recent birth came in right at $12,000.

This is in DAKOTA!

Now, I have a question. Is there any relationship between the relative low birth rate among white middle class and the price of obstetrics?

By the way, the average cost of childbirth in Illinois Medicaid averaged in is $6800. What's wrong with this picture?

Socialized medicine doesn't work. Neither does rampant capitalism. Business that is parasitic like medicine is off the government and insurance companies a false capitalism.

Our health care system which is very good for the very rich is paltry for the poor.
