    After seeing the $600 number was from Canada, I looked it up for USA and $600 is the floor for out of pocket. It goes up to $3,000 with the median being $1500

      I paid 700$ at planned parenthood. There was an option for discounts based on income level, but 700$ was acceptable for me. Was it better than having more children; infinitely. It’s it worse than being punched in the balls; infinitely.

      Worst bit is the initial local anesthesia. “Needles, balls, ow” is the best description. I was cold sweating, and controlled breathing through it. My buddy who went that day too, passed out and bled a lot.
