I only owed $1000 even after my induction + C-section in the us so it really just depends on your insurance 😅 cost of insurance is wild though

You can’t just get on a plane as Americans and get your baby delivered for free. She’s clearly an Australian citizen.

People say “but you pay for it in your taxes it’s not free”.. well it is, because if you don’t work and don’t pay taxes- you still don’t pay anything
