Trump really doesn’t have a clue how much it costs to have a baby let alone raise one, does he? $5k is a drop in the bucket.
$5k is at least one order of magnitude too small
US News puts the average cost to be $300k. So yeah, a bit off.
Just have sixty kids.
I believe the term is pulling an Elon
That wouldn’t even cover the delivery, even after good insurance pays out “their portion”
It’s one baby, Michael. How much could it cost, 5k?
$5k. So, if you have really good insurance, you can cover a couple months of stuff needed for caring for a baby. If you have mediocre insurance, you might be able to cover your “out of pocket” costs for the birth itself. If you have bad or no insurance, this $5k won’t even pay off the medical debt for having the kid.
In short, the people this will help the most are the folks who probably already need it the least. And the folks who actually need the help the most will only be slightly less fucked by our broken medical insurance system. Like most of the policy ideas dribbling our of the AI chatbots this administration is using, it’s poorly thought out, won’t resolve the issues and ultimately is just “feel good” crap.
Lol enough for a month’s supplies. So what about after that? Oh guess you’re on your own! Aren’t you happy you managed to have a decent life for a month? Oh well back to poverty and anxiety for you!
Great, more babies bound for foster care.
Wow, $5,000! That’s almost 3 whole months of daycare! That’ll cover the cost of a new child for sure.
