@VeroniqueB99 my grandmother found the hospital invoice for my mother’s birth in 1964. $30 or about $315 in today’s money. My mother was blind in one eye, and had a then experimental surgery to fix it that costed $55. All on my grandfathers single $400/wk income. But she said the times, especially in the south were VERY oppressive for anyone not a white heterosexual male.
