Welcome to the American Nightmare

Now imagine having to do this every few months or more, not just when you have a baby, and you know what it's like to have health issues in the U.S.

I just called trying to get a price estimate today and I felt his pain :(

The most disturbing thing to me as a European is that Americans aren't surprised by this.

In Russia you have general health insurance which cover costs of birth in hospital. You can pay a bit more if you want services above standard like own room in hospital etc. But mainly, here is so called mothernity capital, which means that state pay mother for giving a birth. For first child its 466 000 rubles (about 7990 usd) and for each another child its 616 000 rubles (about 10 550 usd).

It's free even in a lot of developing countries

What is that in today’s money

£1 in 1950 = £33 in today’s money

Mommy brought chocolate or it was in the UK With free healthcare

That should be switched around parking is really expensive now and the snacks is McDonald’s now since there a McDonald’s nears lots of hospitals.

How many snacks because a packet of crisps is like maximum £1 and chocolate is pretty cheap and fizzy drinks aren't usually up to a quid but sometimes it's over a pound depending on if the size.

Expensive. Down here in New Zealand, many public hospitals sold off their parking buildings to the private sector, because it was 'more efficient'. Daily parking costs in most areas immediately doubled. Up to $20/day now.

Maybe not true for the rest of Canada, but in my city, the hospitals have stopped charging for parking during the pandemic! So our last child was free! (Yes yes, I know it's not free, but covered by our taxes)

Here in Greece we don't pay for parking at the hospital. But we pay a little fee. If I remember right I payed something like 15€. Edit: the fee is for some hospital bureaucracy.

Mine was cheeper, the hospital had free parking Edit: I'm from Spain

Yeah in Portugal idk if its 24euros or 12. But emergencies are free. The parking depends on where. But if you pay you might get the money back. But the Taxi and/or Ambulance are quite expensive

$20? are you kidding? more like $200!

Because when it comes to saving lives, prices are an afterthought. The whole idea when you are in a hospital is to keep you healthy and alive.

Rob Landauer yeah the cost of subsidized healthcare is expensive. The two things that are exorbitantly expensive? School and healthcare. They are also the biggest payouts by the federal government. Get the government out of out pricing the market and the market will manage. This is why HSA programs are working so well these days. Hospitals will five you a massive “discount” for you to pay from a cash pile that your company matches, but in all reality it costs them so much more time and effort to get their money from an insurance company and the other government programs (Medicare/aid) that its worth it to just take the money and run. “To anyone involved in healthcare pricing: You’re the villain” Welcome to the Libertarian party. We accept you with open arms.

You dont call them villain, you call them robbers.

Well once I went to market to buy a T-Shirt for me with my mother. I choose one. Shopkeeper:- Rs.1,000 Me:- 'Shocked'(as it wasn't looking that expensive) Mom:- Rs.200 and not even a single rupee more. Me:- 'Double shocked' Shopkeeper:- Ook take it. I almost fainted there 😲😜😜

Ambulance rides are surprisingly pricey lol

@@mrs_radrod "Get the government out of out pricing the market and the market will manage." what is this wild claim based on? Literally every country that has government-provided healthcare has cheaper healthcare costs than the US. Seems that your logic is lacking empirical evidence.

go to urgent care instead if you are not dying or it is not an emergency but an urgency. Of course USA's medical system is crazy af, but occupying a bed in emergency care makes you pay ten fold

when I had my 3rd child in hospital, they took him into the nursery for 5 minutes so I could shower. The itemized 5 minute visit to nursery was..... $500

@@AA123TD That is just crazy

Well, yeah, it's criminal, but it is business, you see. Medicine is about maintaining the patient & no longer involves healing methods. It's about money, control, and power & bowing down to their little god-like status. I'm sorry if I sound bitter & cynical, but I am bitter & cynical. I have had too many negative dealings with these so called doctors. The last doctor who acted like my doctors when I was very young was in 1985. They were good, caring doctors, but they're dead now. Now we have this money mad trash acting like they are doctors, attend the Rockefeller medical schools, & attempt to force you to have procedures you really do not need, procedures that quite often cost a chunk of change. I have learned not to take them at face value & to question everything they say, and they often lie, too. The endocrinologist I see talked about "products & services." He sounded like a damn used car salesman. The most people can do is research in depth. And you might be shocked at what you discover as the result.

Jessica Insua where I am, I can’t go to urgent care without a referral from my primary care (which takes time for insurance to process) so when I need to be seen quickly ER is my only choice. It’s nonsense

Yeah exactly! The fact that stuff like this, or normalized hospital care in general isn't covered from something like a government tax fund so that you don't have to pour out of your own wallet is just another disturbing brick in the horror house that is the United States of America.

Actually in many European countries we do have to pay “to give birth”. It can be surprising, but in Belgium a single room in a maternity ward, for a couple of days, can be even more expensive than the final price that this family of the video has paid (counting already with the insurance discounts).

I wish I could laugh rn too....

I like universal healthcare because I think it's a basic right and it creates a more transparent system but when you crunch the numbers it doesn't end up being drastically different because Americans pay way less in taxes, if this couple lived in Europe that $800 they gave to the hospital would have gone to the government in taxes and the government would have put it towards the healthcare system.

dying during childbirth was also free 100 years ago. (and no it wasn't. Midwives have always charged a fee.)

guess what... that was just the hospital charge, that doesn't include the 5K for the prenatal and delivery by the OBGYN. so they probably paid significantly more than the $800 stated. Oh they also have pretty damn good insurance.

Primal Machine what are they going to do at the insurance agency? Are they doctors and nurses? No, they're not.

Ricegum?

indusrtial nurses and doctors have no clue what you'll pay even for somthing as simple as an xray or stitches, let alone a birth that can range from one to twenty-four hours easy.

I agree with you, neither does anyone else, and that's the whole point of this video.

I haven't watched the video yet, but their OB-GYN should have given them an estimated cost spreadsheet to look over and sign. Did they not have a preganacy doctor?

Exactly like where else does this happen?

I’m pretty sure it’s a HIPPA violation to not give the cost before the procedure

For everyone else besides the healthcare industry, yes it would be illegal. But the US healthcare industry are the only ones, who’s doesn’t have to disclose prices. It’s even legal for them to actively hide them, or force you to not disclose any knowledge you have of the cost.

It shouldn't even be a purchase to begin with - it should be a free service to any pregnant woman and the hospital of her choice.

My 2nd baby was 3w early, I stayed 6 days mostly just to monitor her because of low birth weight. I had medicaid luckily because even if it was only a day long stay i could never have paid what it would have cost. For people who give birth well before their due date like 30w give or take with lots of complications I can't imagine their costs. Can't imagine what twins, triplets(etc) cost either, do they charge per baby? Wouldn't be surprised. First baby was kicked out right at 24hrs after admitting me, guess they needed the bed free for the next baby.

Jada Garrett most hospitals don’t allow outside food. They’ll do anything to justify taking more cash

you could probably get past that and lessen costs in general by choosing a birthing center.

Or move to Europe and pay 0$ for everyting

#5 don't have a baby

Jesus christ, the US is terrifing! In Italy if you have to deliver a baby the hospital itself is completely free.

Endo C it kind of is!!! Holding you hostage because they know you need the service!

Endo C Water and electronics are just as bad too...they are flat monopolies...

TANSTAFL (there ain’t no such thing as free lunch) basically, you are paying for those services somehow. Probably in taxes.

But not like you really have a choice which hospital you can go to give birth.

Samuel Grahame you definitely have a choice. I gave birth where I wanted because with my first 2 the doctors weren’t in so I had to use who was available so going to “your doctor” may not even me an option and with my 4th he was delivered so fast that the nurse basically caught him lol Not one doctor even in the room. Research the hospital as a whole and the prices. You’ll be set from there. If you’re in active labor no one on their right mind will turn you away...

@@Vasselco in Australia public hospitals are free. My wife had her own room. We do not have doctors in the room unless needed. Only a nurse. I was in the room while my wife was giving birth. Hospital was very good. My son had to have a suction to help him come out at the end. She stayed in hospital for 3 days. They gave her meals and our baby stayed in the same room as my wife. They allowed me to visit 24-7. Even giving me food while I was there. We had all our scans all free and our doctor booked us all appointments for the hospital and checkups. We were only 10 minutes drive from the hospital so we were very lucky

As a sick British teenager I am glad I am British and not American and feel sorry for you because you are so happy about that. You are happy you are getting freedom of information.

Yes they have to give you their prices. But assuming you have insurance what they're giving you is not what you will pay. And that's probably why it took so long for him to get a straight answer. Because it depends on which insurance company you have and what kind of policy you have how much you are paying out of pocket. It's not even what insurance company. It is also what policy you've picked and who your employer is. For example my husband is a nurse at a hospital. If I go to the hospital where he works or one of their sister hospitals I'm going to pay a lot less after insurance then somebody with the same insurance company because I have a different policy. However if I want to go to a different hospital I'm going to pay a lot more out-of-pocket then somebody with the same Insurance Company who does not work for the hospital

In case you haven't already, make sure to change the default password on the camera and look up the model online to see if it's one that's easy to hack... I work with security cameras and there have been some horror stories involving baby monitor cameras. :/

+Алисон Бурней I found this documentary some kind of BS trying to scary people. Women should be able to chose their delivery options and the option of NOT to have a natural delivery if she doesnt want to. We live in a world where health care is a business too, not charity. But again, is ridiculous not to know in advance the total cost of every procedure (or a close estimate) like this video shows.

All What I Love I watched the business of being born and it was a very unbiased film in my opinion. They didn't diss getting a C-section and actively encouraged having a doctor on call in case anything happens. Their point is that in a normal birth, a natural vaginal birth with just a nurse/midwife on hand is statistically the safest option, and often the most fulfilling one too.

RainAngel111 Depends what 'fulfilling' means to you. Also depends what 'safest' means to you too. There is plenty of cases of women dyeing at giving birth home, even some very engaged 'natural delivery at home' activists like that australian woman Caroline Lovell. In other hand I am from a country where 95% of the middle class (and classes above) chose to have c-sections and we never heard ONE single case of mother dyeing on an elective c-section. We probably had about 100 million c-sections so far and all the death we can account has happened in normal deliveries or in a c-section performed too late after trying a normal for too long. Statistically 1 in 7 women would possibly die in normal delivery (as it was common numbers before modern medicine). Its not as safe and simple as people think. In the end, I am pro women having the chance to chose what is better and more satisfactory to themselves. And their choice should be respected.

Yeah, only to know that your roos require high speed internet access, and NBN sucks....

Hahahaha, better not to drive for the next 3 days in case if there is a DUI waiting for you.

Well, here in America we have an idiot as president and republicans don't want nation wide health care because they're greedy and want money.

I am sorry to hear that, but in the US, it is highly unlikely that a nation-wide medical system can be established. Here in Australia, while doctors do earn a bit higher, it is nothing like the US count-parts, hospitals have a set of regulated fees, all covered, while external specialists and GPs can charge higher, but not too much, as otherwise, they will lose out on no customers.

Tony Ka I should have know better but when I started doing things on my own I went and got a check up at the doctors office. From times I’d been before you just show the insurance card and I can go on with my day. Well the women “offered” me a flu shot and I took it thinking why not and it cost me like 200 bucks outside of the insurance. That’s when I had to realize that I need to pay attention to what’s going on during a visit. Practically like I’m going shopping.

You pay almost $6400 in taxs per year for your healthcare. However you want to look at it, you still pay. Maybe no fee out of pocket beings they allready took it from your pocket. Now you still pay every year till death regaurdless if you use it or not. Id rather only pay when i use it then to be forced to pay when i dont use it.

I don't know from where you get that amount. Could you supply a link ? None the less, if i should end up hospitalized, i'll have NO co-pay charges, not like in the US where an open heart surgery to save my life, would bankrupt me and my family in literally a heartbeat, regardless of insurance. Don't talk to me about "sub par" health care.

Hi, I'm from Canada. :) We also pay higher taxes in order to receive free healthcare. I see often that Americans like to use the argument 'but you pay for it in taxes!'. Yes that's true, but on average Americans pay more for healthcare than us Canadians do in our taxes. Google it! So next time you want to use the argument that we are paying more, just remember that you are wrong :)

Miranda Our healthcare will also tend to be better and wait times shorter as not every single person has free healthcare.

Ebrithil1 Assuming that you are from the US, That is an INSANELY uneducated statement.

Extraordinary One it's outrageous. My husband cut his eyebrow open and it wouldn't stop bleeding, it was a Sunday, so we had to go to an urgent care. We were in there for 30 minutes, saw a nurse practitioner and he ultimately only needed eye glue, not even stitches. We got the bill-$900.00. Yes, he was insured. They charged us for time with a doctor that we didn't even see. $300.00 for gauze and eye glue. I'm an attorney, so I threw a fit, threatened to sue. They only came down $400, still had to pay $500 for some eye glue. The American healthcare system makes me so angry!

+Lauren Kahre that's disgusting....at least I delivered a kid. I would have spit bullets to be charged that kind of money for eye glue. Give me a break. Don't get me started on seeing a doctor, just for him to hold a VERY brief conversation and not even touch you it cost $300. In your case he was nowhere to be found so I would have definitely disputed that!

Lauren Kahre My dad went to the ER because he hit his head and wouldn't stop bleeding. He's diabetic so we were worried. We waited like an hour and the doctor said it looked worst than it was. cleaning his cut with water and a cotton ball and sent us home. We got a $580 bill.

Extraordinary One aaaaaaaaah sooooo lucky for not in living US or become an American citizen 😱😱imagine wth.... that's really crap really really crap system

"man why do i have to pay for things that cost money"

In the US, we have the free market and hospitals are able to charge whatever they please for whatever procedure. We can't even call this competitive, because we'd have to know the prices to compare different providers, right?

capitalism, america just took capitalism way too far and let the big people charge freely. we were so paranoid of socialism and communism that any element of it was feared when in fact, certain elements of it work just fine in a capitalist-centered society.

Wow, this was eye opening from my point of view having used the NHS and similar services all my life. Fair enough they want people to pay and hospitals are allowed to charge what they want, but you think they would be required to have open pricing so people know what they're expected to pay.

The actual total cost (for the hospital) of a delivery is generally the same across the board. It's somewhere in the vicinity of 5k-8k give or take. What your health plan will cover for you on the other hand is what causes the big variance.

they don't it's usually what the insurance will cover at the end is why there is an influx in pricing period Plus different hospitals charge different prices because their rooms or better service is better birthing rooms are bigger and more comfortable and since no hospital is going to turn down somebody regardless of their ability to pay they have to make up the prices the stuff they do that people don't pay for.

eidodk It's just wonderful!

GingerKidDiaries Why didn't you go to a country (anywhere) where the costs would be much lower?

@dinar andfriends If they don't have money to pay a hospital bill, what makes you think they had the money for moving, passports, etc?? That's an incredibly ignorant thing to say. Most of us would love to leave.

lower income can apply for Medicaid. i think there's a article that states that over half of births in US are covered by Medicaid

It gets better. Sometimes you are told what the cost will be and pay upfront, then you STILL get sent a bill for MORE, because "the final calculation by the insurance was higher". It's criminal and disgusting.

Actually, you are being forced to use a service without being told the price...that is so much worse!

But that should not be, especially in medicine. It's an uncaring, careless field.

You are paying to give birth. Your response begs the question, do you work for the American medical industry or the insurance industry? The American medical industry is a scam on the American people. We are the laughing stock of the world. Medical care is the number one cause of personal and bankruptcy in the nation.

thankfully I’ve never been to the hospital but I probably will sooner or later and I’m like scared like Vdkeosososis I shouldn’t be worrying about this!

@ And why would the price be clearly marked for each procedure if it was a true free market system and what prevents hospitals from doing it now? And while it's true that we don't necessarily know how much the state pays for each individual procedure in a national healthcare system what we can see is that the US spends twice as much per capita and 50% more as percentage of GDP than the average developed country on healthcare which means it costs more. While many factors contribute to this the biggest by far is estimated to be the difference in negotiating power between a single national healthcare system and several independent private insurance companies. Which I find quite ironic because one of the main arguments for free market capitalism is that it makes things cheaper due to competition.

Or it will just push more women to give birth in unsafe spaces - leading to higher mortality rates???
