    Actually, without insurance, it may be cheaper. Costs are massively inflated because it’s expected that the insurance company will negotiate it down. If you have no insurance, they will probably bill you a more “reasonable” rate.

      I was speaking more of the billed cost before we’re expected to beg the hospital to be lenient so we don’t get financially destroyed.

      I was born at a hospital that couldn’t charge my parents much because they barely had money to their names - through the same process.
