The rate at which they push C-sections is another reason.

Happened to us twice even as we wanted natural birth and had a doula for the first one.

Another thing about the hospitals, as we all here surely are aware of, ate them hidden, fine print fees. Think it was a few thousand dollars out of pocket, despite having “good” insurance.

Fucking capitalist scam healthcare is in America.

It’s still absolutely astounding to me, and may be one of the things along with the rapacity of the real estate cabals that ultimately kicks off the revolution, that the government couldn’t come together during a pandemic to finally ensure that everyone gets free universal healthcare.
