Mate, I don't know how long you have been here but you have another think coming.
NHS services are free at the point of care. I worked in the NHS for a good few years. Never swiped anybody's credit card.
In the USA, calling an ambulance will set you back more than $1,000. No insurance? Better not give birth. You'll need 20 grand. Maybe 50 grand for a C-section.
My first child was born in the USA. My wife was lying on a gurney in a corridor for hours because all the operating rooms were full. By the time we got into the OR she was fully dilated and it was too late to get an epidural. It was complete chaos.
Our second child was born at Kings College Hospital in Lambeth, in a bed, with a midwife, listening to music. No jacuzzi required.
