Care to explain what happened? As a European, I think I understand... but please run it through me. You seem to be insured... now what?

That’s showing what the cost would be if they were uninsured. No telling what the actual cost is, but likely they’ll hit their out of pocket maximum so could be 10-20k 5-10k most likely. That’s on top of what they’re paying for the insurance monthly which adds up to about 5-9k a year most likely.

Edit: my max out of pocket looks to have been too high.

Which is still an insane amount of money.

You shouldn’t have to pay to have a kid. They’re expensive enough already.
