People Are Furious After A Hospital Charged A Dad $40 For Holding His Baby
The hospital says the charge is for the “extra caregiver” needed to facilitate the skin-to-skin contact.
People are outraged on the behalf of a new dad after he posted an itemized hospital bill from his son's birth that shows he was charged $40 for "skin-to-skin" contact with the infant.
When Grassley and his wife got their hospital bill, they noticed a strange charge for $39.35 on the bill.
It was listed as "“skin to skin after c-sec," which Grassley said refers to when he had placed his newborn on his wife's chest after the C-section in order to bond with the baby.
