Hey, I had a quick question for you, which I can't seem to find on Google anywhere: do you know how much money is made by U.S. hospitals from births every year? I'm writing an entry about how birth has turned into a giant profit machine, but I need an actual number, or at least a close estimate. I figured if anyone might know, it'd be you. ;)

Wow, you're on there with some really big names. Does that mean you're a big name too? :)
ReplyDeleteAm I a big name? Ha ha ha. Not really...Maybe once I publish my dissertation and it becomes a national best-seller (laughing) I will be.

ReplyDeleteHospital birth accounts for 66% of all hospital revenue (from documentary Pregnant in America). Still searching for a hard number.
ReplyDeleteWow, that alone is pretty impressive. If you don't find it don't worry about it. Thanks! :)
