I’m so sorry you have to live with that system. I’m in Australia and had my first child not that long ago. After multiple hospital visits due to ongoing complications during pregnancy, an induced labour and an emergency c-section followed by a week in hospital for my wife to recover...the only thing we had to pay for was parking at the hospital and a few meals for myself at the cafeteria.

The whole ordeal was stressful enough but the financial aspect was never in our minds. I can’t even imagine having to add financial stress on top of that.
