Hospitals do everything in their power to provide the best conditions for a mother giving birth and it’s completely fine that they charge people for these services, but one facility went a step too far. A new mother received a $39.35 hospital bill for “Skin To Skin” service which is just a fancy term for holding your child.
“The nurse let me hold the baby on my wife’s neck/chest. Even borrowed my camera to take a few pictures for us. Everyone involved in the process was great, and we had a positive experience. We just got a chuckle out of seeing that on the bill,” the father said.

"completely fine that they charge people for these services"? I'm so happy for health insurance in Europe, I never experience any bill like that, everything is paid by state or my employer, this is crazy ...

They forgot to add "Congratulated the wife with the baby while smiling friendly: $21,50" They got a bargain in my opinion.

I wonder if for this price you can hold only your own baby, or any one available at the hospital. Can I try them all for an extra $ ? :)
