Summary

Some women are being asked to prepay for their baby, a practice that is legal but considered unethical by patient advocacy groups.

The practice is driven by the high cost of maternity care and the way it is billed in the U.S., where bundled billing has become outdated.

Critics say this exacerbates maternity care inequities, with families left to navigate unclear costs and insurance complexities amid rising healthcare expenses.

    Right! Not only can rapist in red states pick the mother of their child. They now stick them with the hospital bills… I mean that’s always been the case in pro rapist states but they are making it official now.

      Would be a shame I’d something terrible happened to them. I certainly would not say guilty if I was juror because murder implies they are better than a mosquito.
