I recently had a kid that spent time in the NICU after birth and the bill was 500k without insurance but "luckily" my insurance negotiated that down to 250k, and I "only" had to pay 6k.

Sorry to hear and I hope your child is ok.

Healthcare costs should be one of the top priorities. I met a lady on a cruise a few years and and she had just broken her arm during a cruise in Australia. Since she wasn't a resident, the hospital told her she had to pay full price. I don't remember the cost exactly, but it was around $50. For the er bill, the x-ray, and the cast.
