About $2500-$3000 of our $10K that we just finished paying off was medical debt from our daughter's birth. My insurance paid 70% of the bill, leaving us with 30%, plus all of the expenses for her care, since my insurance only covered me, and not my child. We both work at the same place, and we can each get an individual policy for ourselves, but the company does not offer family coverage for people at our job level. (And this is a public university!) We buy a separate policy for our dd.

It's time for national health care in this country!!
