The reason you can't wrap your head around it is that it's not actually true.
People love saying that about America, but it's not true and never has been.
For cases like that there is government insurance. It's called Medicaid, or Chip, or a bunch of other names, and it's available everywhere.
(And it doesn't help that the person you replied to is doubly confused and combined two unrelated things to confuse him even more. The CEO was saying that Obamacare was an added expense - it had nothing to do with the babies.)
To be absolutely clear: The CEO is the person who rhetorically conflated Obamacare and having to pay for the babies, not me. Don't try to poison the well by trying to shift his misspeaking to me.
