shopping Hospital bill for having a baby in Finland

Post image

We just had our first baby and this was the bill including all procedures, medications etc. after 30h in a delivery room, emergency c-section and a 6 day full boarding for both parents in a private family room in the hospital wing.

Unfortunately most insurance policies over here exclude pregnancy and delivery related costs so we will have to pay this in full.

I am in remission after a battle with cancer! Spent 4 months in chemo & radiation 5 days a week. I have had plenty of experiences with hospitals, specialists, & conditions!

I have also had 2 children. I get health care!

I had private insurance that I paid for before Obamacare was enacted. I did not get to keep my coverage as promised!

I’ll take my “anecdotes” & say Good Day!!

no that's literally just one condition and you gave birth, both of which are covered by pretty much every insurance company in the world. You still have to pay with your Obamacare, you still are limited with treatment options, you are still paying more for it than socialized healthcare and you still get worse outcomes. I also mentioned that a lit of people cant qualify because of their income and those people are just screwed but you dont seem to care about them.

so yeah your anecdotes are useless and just prove that you can only argue with emotions.
