A couple were told they faced a $200,000 (£146,500) medical bill when their baby was born prematurely in the US, despite them having travel insurance which covered her pregnancy.

US health insurance pulled the same shitty tactic on me with my first born.
Both our kids were charged 6,000 to be born . . . Fun trick, where they charge the baby, since the mother has probably hit their out of pocket max, and that lets them jack it to the family max.
More Luigis please.
Can’t you declare bankruptcy for the kids then? Though that would probably fuck with the credit score? But I have no clue how that works.
I feel like you should be able to tell them to go fuck themselves, since children can’t sign contracts.
Oh, that’s the fun part of it - it’s your debt, but on the children’s insurance. They’re moving the care from one patient to another (to max out family out of pocket charges), but the parents are on the contract and can be sued.
