As someone currently living in Boston, I can't understand how she's claiming her baby was $7500. She had the baby at the start of the year so she would've had to meet her deductible but I'd imagine if they were making what Caroline said that they were, they would've had a good insurance plan with a low deductible. My husband has a decent job, he makes less than what Caroline claimed Kyle made and we pay $600/month for a very good health insurance plan. We each have a $1000 deductible. I used the cost estimator to see how much a vaginal delivery would cost me
and it's $25 which is nowhere near $7500, it goes up slightly if I change to a different hospital that is out of my network ($25-->$150) and obviously, if I had to meet my deductible it would increase a bit more.
I had surgery just after Christmas, a pretty major procedure, and spent one night in the hospital after. All in, my insurance was billed about $50000. I had to pay less than $500. Sure, this would've been free if I still lived in Scotland but I also would've waited years for the surgery rather than being able to get it booked in a matter of weeks.
