<p>We had a hospital birth and I checked today to see if our insurance was charged and was shocked at what I found! The total charges were $17,000!! That's just the hospital! That's not even our doctor's fee. No wonder people without insurance can't afford to pay their medical bills! When we had our first child via cesarean the total charge was $8,000. We had a successful (and quick!) VBAC this time and it's more than double? How does that add up? I'm anxious to see the itemized bill for this to see what all they are charging us for. I'm also curious how this compares to what everyone else is being charged. If you don't mind sharing, what is your hospital charging?</p>
