Middle-Class Families Struggle with Childbirth Costs, Mayan City Discovered

It's election season, and the candidates are making their final pleas. Vice President Kamala Harris promised to find common ground and help with economic issues, like controlling grocery prices and assisting first-time home buyers. On the other hand, former President Donald Trump focused on immigration, vowing to end sanctuary cities and secure the southern border. Meanwhile, many middle-class families are facing massive debt after childbirth, even with insurance. One family, the Hurleys, had to pay nearly $11, 500 after their twins' births, despite having insurance. Another family, the Munges, ended up with $55, 000 in credit card debt after their daughter's birth. It's a tough situation for these families, who earn too much for Medicaid but can't afford insurance that covers everything.

In other news, around 10, 000 North Korean troops are heading to Russia to help in the war against Ukraine. This could benefit North Korea by giving their military experience in modern warfare. Plus, it could boost their nuclear ambitions. On a lighter note, a huge ancient Mayan city was found in Mexico by accident. A Ph. D. student discovered it while looking at drone data. The city might have housed up to 50, 000 people at its peak.
