In America it costs about $20,000 to have a baby.

Thats a rough average of with, without insurance, need a c section or not, etc.

Thats also about 1/3 of a median US yearly salary/wage.

Meanwhile, politicians seem to mostly have no idea why childbirth rates are going down, but they are also mostly sure that they hate immigrants.

Our country is a dumpster fire, please do not come here, you will regret it.

    One of the terrible things is that they will bill you much more if you don't have insurance, or if you have insurance but they are not in your insurance "network" (which is basically your insurer acting like a union to negotiate prices down for it's members).
