The hospital, they come from the hospital. Along with a bill for $120k.
That's where Americans come from. Thanks all gods, most babies are not American.
Most babies are Indian or Chinese
Indian babies are mostly free (or a much more reasonable charge)(assuming no pregnancy complications requiring a very fancy operation in a private hospital)
The only correct answer so far
Only for Americans who have been conned that healthcare really costs that much.
Why would you pay that much to give birth in a hostipital?
