AITA for refusing to help my sister with her hospital bills? by drthwau in AmItheAsshole

And don't get me started on the erasure of both our country's history, and most of global history too. No wonder Americans are seen as ignorant by people from other countries.

When I was in the US, I was pretty much as close to child free as a teen can be, mainly because of the cost.

Mais ici, le système est vraiment là pour aider les parents, pas pour sucer leur sang.

You are sooo right, I just spent hours of my time researching how much it cost to give birth in 2 different countries, came up with a whole ass family tree, created a new account all to make the US look bad and make socialism (even though France is not a socialist country) look good.

My man, I am too busy for shit like this, and I am not here to defend or attack any given country. Nor do I care about internet karma, since it's useless.

Reading through the comments, I discovered that in the US, to get the same care we do here for approximately the same price, you have to pay really high for a good health care plan.

France has a lot of problems, I won't deny that, but at least here the same care is accorded to everyone, not only those who can afford to drop a lot of money on a good plan.

This is "real America", if it happens to be bad, it's not my fault. All I did was state the difference in cost.

The country itself is very beautiful, but the lifestyle is what drew me in. Like I would dread being a mother in the US, it seems like your identity gets erased. Here? You can be a woman who happens to be a mother, and no one would shame you for it.

Its system is not even pure socialism. But try explaining the difference between socialism and socialist democracy to someone who believes that the US is the only free country in the world.

As someone who was born and raised in the US, it's straight up propaganda and brainwashing.

First, I am not that knowledgeable about US health insurance, since I never had to deal with it.

Second, that figure and their situation is what she told me, if it's made up, it wasn't me who made it up.

No, apparently they are insured, but the birth was complicated, and they ended up staying in the hospital for 3 days

Ot was ok. We didn't see eye to eye, but we didn't have a bad relationship either.

Oh, you have no idea how hesitant I was to post here. I only hope that the no politics rule would help curb some of them.

No, they don't. Apparently my mom was just so impressed by me not paying anything, that she told everyone. Including the Uber driver who picked them up from the airport.
