comment from post 3

Having an infant that is premature and requires long term hospitalization in the NICU is not only a financial burden to the parent but can also be a financial burden to the community and government. The amount of money that is spent on a term post partum care delivery versus the care of a preemie in the NICU is vast. Employers and employees pay $58,917 for a birth that is premature (March of Dimes, 2013). For the non insured, it is also a high cost for the government to take care of the LBW babies.
