Reply #133: When I had my son, my 3 night stay cost about $2k with insurance

[OhioBlue]

I have pretty decent insurance actually. My pregnancy spanned 2 calendar years - So I met my deductible the first year and then again the second year - except it was tiered. We didn't pay anything for the first $500, then 100% for the next $200 (I think - it keeps changing) then something like 80:20 until you max out around $1k I thought... But I ended up with about $2k after insurance payments and write downs. We do pay a lot for perscriptions - so that was probably it. Or maybe I maxed out for myself and the baby... Anyway... even with good insurance in the U.S., ya still gotta pay way more than $137.
