Childbirth is already unaffordable for many. Now some are being asked to pay the bill before they even go into labor.

        Well you see, if the US is doing something completely evil and indefensible then the only fallback for the American exceptionalism-poisoned western mind is to immediately declare that everywhere else is even worse! Otherwise we wouldn’t live in the Greatest Country on Earth™, and that’s impossible no matter how much our lying eyes say otherwise.

      Now, with such policy, as long as medical costs stay low and medical facilities improve, with more investment, surely there should be some improvement (after all, we all live in first-class countries, unlike China or Russia)
