In the US, we’ve had access to free birthing classes, infant CPR, and a lactation class. At the hospital we will be assigned a nurse and a lactation expert to help my wife. The infant CPR and birth class covered sleeping.
All the above are free and provided by the hospital. It helps that we are going to the hospital with the most births in the US.
You are mistaken. Free classes like this are common at hospitals in the US. Not paid by insurance... free.
Do a quick search and I’m sure you’ll find plenty. They’re typically called “community wellness” or “community education” programs.
Nothings free wether it’s a baby box given by a Finland hospital or an infant CPR class. It’s all paid by you either with tax or post tax depending on your country.
Except that taxation is relative to income but the services are the same for everybody, and in a single-payer system you can’t be denied insurance based on ”preexisting conditions”. Massive difference.
I had the same thing in the US and no, there were no copays or insurance billing associated, beyond the fact you're getting your care at that hospital.
