00:00Teaching reproductive health this week in my global health course and it's rather ironic that

00:06the cost of giving birth to a baby in the United States is higher there than anywhere else in the

00:11world, which is rather sad because they're monetizing the moment, preying on mothers

00:18who are pregnant to profit and not really being concerned much for the patient.

00:24And the costs can range anywhere from say $3,000 to $16,000 or more and even beyond, if

00:35you are having an insurance company pay for it, many times the hospital will monetize the

00:41moment and try to excessively bill and charge the insurance company until they renegotiate

00:47the true price and the cost of the birth.

00:50And furthermore, the hospitals will try to add on additional fees for the mother and

00:59even sometimes physicians will pursue cesarean births just to speed up the process and further

01:05profit from the patient, that being the mother and the various unnecessary medical interventions

01:12ranging from episiotomies to epidurals to drugs and different treatments and interventions

01:19given to the mother, which can harm the newborn baby, can further add on some prices and fees

01:28to the hospital bill at the end, but likewise it do harm to the child and the mother.

01:36So these things need to be adjusted and corrected and litigated in the United States by attorneys

01:43who actually probably care sometimes more for the patients than the own hospitals and the

01:49doctors who are merely monetizing the moment.
