its really not too bad.. we were offered the option to freeze the embilical cord from our kid for stem cells if needed later in life...

I don't remember the exact amount.. but ya had to pay a yearly storage fee.. (privatized)...

And if they get rich enough to afford it they'll stop having kids, as birth rates tend to decline as a country gets wealthier, so I wouldn't worry about it
I just hate to see people whine about the government making new laws.. then they go and whine b/c they won't make some new law that can totally be done by private funding...
