Just two days after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the Republican National Convention begins today in Milwaukee. In Washington, meanwhile, Democrats seem set to spend another week agonizing over whether President Biden is too old and politically damaged to be their party’s nominee.

Americans spend more on childbirth than nearly anything else that happens at the hospital. The average delivery is $13,000. Even after insurance pays, patients who have babies still end up on the hook for nearly $3,000. I’ve spent 15 years covering the high costs of American health care, an industry in which patients routinely encounter [$600 Band-Aids](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRod4EYP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudm94LmNvbS8yMDE2LzUvMTMvMTE2MDY3NjAvZW1lcmdlbmN5LWZhY2lsaXR5LWZlZXMtYW1lcmljYW4taGVhbHRoLWNhcmU_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDcxNSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjg3OTUmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3MjE4NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZpIY_JRmDY4y1VIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) and [$3,000 Covid tests](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRod4EYP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wMy8zMC91cHNob3QvY292aWQtdGVzdC1mZWVzLWxlbm94LWhpbGwuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjQwNzE1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyODc5NSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTcyMTg1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmkhj8lGYNjjLVUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). Recently, I’ve been amazed at how much hospitals, doctors and medical device companies are charging families for newborn care. They are eking out more money from each step of having a baby. They often tap into the anxiety that so many parents feel as they form new families. “People are willing to do anything to ensure the well-being of their kids even before they meet them,” said Neel Shah, chief medical officer at Maven, a women’s health clinic. Moneymakers Health care companies have several chances to make their pitch between a positive pregnancy test and the birth of a child. In the first trimester, genetic companies sell tests that claim to detect serious and rare problems from a few vials of the mother’s blood. But these tests, which can cost thousands of dollars, are usually wrong when they make grave predictions about an infant’s health. The inaccurate results can lead parents to spend thousands on more tests and even to consider abortion. The second trimester often brings a pitch for umbilical-cord blood banking. Brochures in obstetricians’ offices describe how paying to freeze and store a newborn’s stem cells may be vital if the child becomes ill later in life. But the few parents who try to use their samples often find that they are unusable, either because they have too few stem cells or because they are contaminated. Azeen Ghorayshi and I investigated these companies in a [story The Times published today](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRod4EYP0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNy8xNS9oZWFsdGgvY29yZC1ibG9vZC1zdG9yYWdlLWNvbnRhbWluYXRpb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjQwNzE1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyODc5NSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTcyMTg1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmkhj8lGYNjjLVUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). Most spending on childbirth goes toward delivery and newborn care. Cesarean section delivery remains the most common surgery in American hospitals, despite years of advocacy to lessen its use. About 30 percent of kids are born this way, more than twice the World Health Organization’s recommendation. One reason is that we have bizarre incentives. Hospitals earn 50 percent more for C-sections than for vaginal deliveries, even though recent research shows they cost less than vaginal deliveries. When cheaper medical care earns more money, that warps behavior. Neonatal intensive care is also proving to be very profitable. Nearly 40 percent more babies went to these units, supposedly reserved for the sickest kids, from 2008 to 2018. But the infants weren’t sicker. Some doctors worry that hospitals may send healthy babies to the NICU because it pays better. Investors, seeing the opportunity, have been buying up neonatology practices. Capitalizing on fear The experts I talked to have a few explanations for why these efforts work. To start, there are millions of births every year. Hospitals know that childbirth will always make up a large share of their revenue. Another reason is that the most successful messages — the case for banking cord blood, buying advanced genetic tests or spending a few extra nights in the NICU — are selling safety for your child. Lastly, these pitches tend to come from a trusted source: our doctors. They distribute brochures that overstate the benefits of cord blood banking or genetic testing. Cord blood banks even pay obstetricians to collect the stem cells. When your doctor endorses a new and promising technology, it is awfully hard to say no.
