imagine all the innumerable benefits and protections provided to a baby while still inside the womb, now imagine having to provide all of those manually to an infant that is 6 inches long, weighs 2 pounds and has no immune system

I just spent 20 minutes ranting at my husband about the American medical billing and insurance systems, the risks of even the most routine birth, and the specific terrors of having a baby in the NICU instead of posting it, so you're welcome for that

notably none of the Big Talkers in the "medical debt from your infant's stay in the NICU isn't 'real'" debacle were women, the category of person most likely to have an infant in the NICU. that shouldn't preclude them from every discussion but it sure is insulting in this one in particular!

the reason the bloodless quants on this site are all back on "is $30k a lot of money?" is because they lost the previous "is $500k a lot of money to be told you owe a hospital for the birth of your child?" argument. it's all downstream of the same shit. argue about something else
