That's a weird way of wording "You'll only have to pay 95K out of your 100K bill of your hospital stay for giving birth"
5K PER MONTH and paying for the full hospital bill would be a great place start. But of course, they aren't really pro-life to begin with.
Pro-Birth =/= Pro-Life
They don't care what happens after birth.
In a lot of places 5K a month covers daycare, and not much more
To be fair that is the kind of place where the argument "move somewhere cheaper then if your income doesn't match the cost of living" does have some merit. Oh, and fuck the employers who pay wages below the cost of living in their area.
Moving is incredibly expensive and you have to find a new job, which is hard as fuck for anything paying better than slave wages. I feel like shit like this is written by experienced coders, surgeons, people like that who can snap their fingers and have a different job.
The kind of places where daycare is 5K a month are probably the 5% most expensive areas in a first world country. If you don't have a high paying job in those areas your job is very likely available elsewhere.
Or you have more than one kid.
Discussing cost for something like that per month but not per kid without mentioning the number of kids you are thinking of would be kind of weird.
$100k wtf? I only remember paying for parking at the hospital...evil socialism!
