So that’s how they fund their black ops.
“Like the charge for newborn blood tests and a crib mobile. That stopped me in my tracks,” recalls Johnson. “As far as I know, my husband never had a baby.”
Reminds me how they once tried to bill a man for a C-section - this was on 7-on your side some time ago. The guy tried calling them, saying “I am a man”, but they refused to listen and then sent the bill to a collection agency. He had to call ABC to sort it out. Turns out to be mistaken identity - what a surprise. Do these people in billing know that science hasn’t yet found a way to make men pregnant.
As much as I hate lawsuits I think the guy should’ve sued them for doing a C-section on a man.
