The Apple of Odogwu’s eyes remarked: “She’s right, and most insurance plans won't cover all. However, if you qualify for government insurance, you might not have to pay anything, depending on the state.”
Habibi Of Abj inquired: “Please, how much for abortion?”
sales_uwana pointed out: “This isn’t very accurate. She’s just sharing how much it cost her.”
Adaora commented: “Well, it wasn’t a normal birth but a C-section, which means additional costs. Overall, though, the expenses seem on the high side.”
RICHEEY humorously added: “Wey no be Jesus Christ person wan born. 🤣Though why it became more expensive for her was because of the series of other complications. It won’t be that much on a smooth delivery.”
