Bros. Saw my first baby’s itemized bill from 2009 and they charged us $900 to rent the plastic tub my baby slept in for three days. I legit would’ve brought my own from home.

Everyone involved in US healthcare is unequivocally corrupt. All of you. Every single one of you.

I was shocked at how much it cost for EVERYTHING ELSE and how little it seemed to cost for the actual “birth the baby” part.

16 is either here or coming up on you soon, good luck with that 🫠

This is how I found out that 800mg of ibuprofen / Tylenol costs $45 if you get it in a hospital in the USA.

[–] SomGye@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago

Wow, it's usually way more than that!

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 8 points 2 days ago

Jesus. That's ridiculous!

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 47 points 2 days ago

Inaccurate. You won't find out about the $4000 hat charge until you randomly get a bill in the mail for it four months later. It's also already been denied by your insurance. When questioned on this, because your declaration of coverage clearly states that it includes hats, your insurance will claim that the hospital charged it under the wrong code and somehow this is your responsibility.

Worth it, that hat looks pretty sick.

Yeah, stupid communist European babies don't get a hat because of their inferior communist healthcare!

We European get our baby hats provided by social security, same as our baby cigarettes.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" "Neither it's French."

Infant millinery isn't cheap, but it is worth it. Look at all those stupid bald looking babies without hats.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Ironically if you tell the hospital that’s bullshit and you’re not paying it, they usually oblige. They are squeezing you for every penny so if you threaten to give them nothing, they will work with you to get something.

Concierge hospitals give monocles too.

Look at the cute lil guy. He's so pleased with his hat

Big Pharma is fat for a reason.

probably a bit niche but I initially thought this was a dig at Bryan Bozzi (Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari F1 race engineer)

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Omg, I had to re-read, but you’re right - I can totally see it!! This season has been the best for driver/engineer comms. “Yeah, that’d be the water”. 😂 Even Hammy losing his cool “want me to let them through too?!” Def super niche, I love it.

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can you explain cuz I have no idea who that is or why this would pertain to him

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

"But why?"

"4000's nothing for a hat that fancy. I'm barely breaking even."

[–] shplane@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

To be fair, the little hat they do give you is really adorable on your new born baby

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 2 points 20 hours ago

looks like a very fancy hat tough.
