A rare case ... 

 

Healthcare, one of the most important part of living anywhere, especially with kids, or aged folks.  One reason I wouldn't, couldn't, comfortably return to the USA.  A simple med oops could bankrupt you, even if having health insurance.

It seems like the insurance covered most of the bill while the family still had to pay $11,300 out of pocket.

 

If I was an american I would never pay a single insurance or medical bill while illegals are getting treatments for free.

Thank god you are not....

We got enough selfish idiots already who'd let kids and people go sick to day care, school, work place, transportations and cause 1000x more expenses by spreading illnesses.
