Maybe this is an issue with their insurance and NOT with the USA. Not like usa should foot the bill just because they decided to travel with a kid on the was. Never save to fly when pregers
I agree, the TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL is completely reasonable, it's the insurance company's fault alone, there is literally nothing wrong with way we do medicine in the USA.
On an unrelated note I wonder why Americans aren't having babies? It must be the queers.
At least baby lived. In canada they would still be waiting!
I'm in Canada.
Which makes you an ignorant, lying troll.
Good point, so long as the system still technically works, it doesn't matter if it's too expensive for 25% of Americans to use it.
25%?! Oh I wish it was that low.
Oh wow, you're right. It's 36% now per this KFF article: https://www.kff.org/health-costs/americans-challenges-with-health-care-costs/
Still, a small price to pay to keep the poors-- I mean, uh, the government out of our hospitals.
