My guess is $12.50, unless there was a buy-one-get-one-free deal that day .

[Coindude]

My guess, $19.66 because I was born in 1966!

[jesbroken]

$67.75 and congrats on your up and coming 7777th post.

Clarification for all, including Irvin.

Sales tax is irrelevant! Military babies, illegitimate babies or whatever are irrelevant! Twins (of which I am not) don't mean you split the cost. The amount you post is all that matters!

Let's see that long ago they were still using foreign currency in the states so I am going to say 10 pillar dollars

[physics-fan3.14]

Looks like the going rate for a baby was around $70 a pop in the late '40's. I'll assume your mom spent a couple/few days in the hospital, as was customary back then, and we'll call the bill $150.

[dean1345]

My guess is $190.

[WoodenJefferson]

Not many people had health insurance back then, but they did have at least 7-8 months to save up to pay for the doctor/mid-wife/hospital bill.

 

My hospital bill was $78.00 but the doctor charged $35.00, so I'm going to say $113.00
