It can be <$6,000 cash and I wouldn't be surprised.

This is the figure I once heard:

Delivering a baby with awesome health care plan: $12,000, you pay $2,000 (of course you pay more monthly for having this plan)

With mediocre health care plan: $8,000 and you pay $3,000

Without health care plan: $4,000 and you pay all of it.

The same $4,000 care is priced based on how much money they can get from you (or your plan)

Same delivery

How do poor people afford to have babies? Double whammy given the statistically higher number of babies and limited birth control options for lower incomes.

Oh ho, just wait till you hear about the costs of raising a child!

but seriously, that's a good question, and I have no idea 🙃
