When I gave birth 13 months ago in the United States the pregnancy and c-section delivery total came to just under $20,000. With insurance I paid about $4,000 out of pocket.

It's free in Canada where we also have publically-funded health care. My daughter had to be in the NICU for 3 1/2 weeks, so it would have been quite costly in the US. My estimates:
25 days x $10 000 in NICU = $250 000
C-section = $8 000
3 days hospitalized (for me) $6 000
Total estimate in the US -- $264 000
Cost as a Canadian = $0

It's free in the U.K. and we have private care available too...if you have the money...but the free care is very good and is what most people use.
