Paying out of pocket for healthcare could bankrupt you after a single unexpected event.

Don’t slip on ice. Don’t get into a car crash. Don’t have a heart attack or stroke. Don’t get cancer. Don’t get a kidney stone. Don’t get pneumonia. Don’t get appendicitis.

@DonnaBeecheerful @drshazmamithani I am an Alberta obstetrician and did the math a few years back as part of research. Numbers were approximate and average for low risk/low intervention:
Prenatal tests $800
MD pre/post natal visits $500
MD delivery $700
Midwifery course of care: $4600
Hospital stay $1500/day
Epidural $800
