    $5K to save for having a baby? Nopers, just pop it out!
    If you can't save the money necessary to get health care for yourself while you're pregnant, and for the baby when it arrives, how do you expect to pay for that baby? It's going to need food, clothing, toys, school expenses, probably diapers, a bed... Raising a kid is very expensive.
    you don't make enough so you have to pay more? Seems backwards
    Sort of like getting a loan. If you need it, you can't get it, or you have to pay exhorbitant rate. If you don't need it, you can get it, and at a very low rate.
    You don't say.
    Of course a kid is expensive, what I was referring to was another fee added ontop of what you have planned/saved to go to the hospital to have said baby. Big difference.

    And gotcha, seeing it as a loan makes more sense!

    And you make that fee up in tax savings....

    It all depends on how you want to look at it.

    Yet to walk out of the hospital with a "bill" for my kid that wasn't picked up.

    Side note: Am I the only one surprised with how derailed this thread is that it hasn't been closed.

    Nope, totally get it's the "same" amount "ish", just nice not paying up front and getting it taken off automatically and not thinking about it.

    My thoughts too, surprised it wasn't locked.

    Who pays "up front"? Are there people who actually do that? I've never paid up front for any medical service. That's what my insurance is for.

    Wow, you got such a better reaction then when I asked. I asked about detox water recipes and got ripped a new *kitten*.

    The OP didn't go around cursing everyone out like someone.

    Neither did I until after I was provoked.
