My husband just unearthed the bills from when he was born in 1950. The physician cost an additional $75.

You have the numerator but have not given us the denominator. The average family income was $3300 per year.

My oldest was born in 1988, and the only thing I paid at the checkout was $25 for an upgrade to a private room.

Those were the days.....
