This hits home for me.. my son (now 4 years old) was born very premature at 29 weeks and some change. He spent 7 weeks and 4 days in the NICU. The total hospital bill that was charged to insurance (before settling it between themselves) was roughly 960_000$.

If you include the additional services and whatnot in the few months following being discharged from the hospital he was a million dollar baby.

Complete insanity frankly.. few things make my blood boil more than the sad state of health insurance in the US. Sure, it has gotten better since the ACA… but there is soo much more that needs to change.
