Goes to show you, we're not the only country where the poor are screwed over by the medical industry.

Charged for screaming during childbirth? That's ridiculous, if childbirth wasn't painful then I'm sure that women wouldn't scream.

Oh, so that's what that $8000 charge for foam latex plugs was on my hospital bill!

But seriously--how could someone even keep track of that? I there someone who stands there and makes a tick-mark every time she screams? If this practice was instituted in the U. S., the patient would be billed for the service of "extraneous high-decibel vocalization monitoring".
