A couple were told they faced a $200,000 (£146,500) medical bill when their baby was born prematurely in the US, despite them having travel insurance which covered her pregnancy.

    If i take a boat and sail to a known cannibal island, where people like me have gone and been eaten before, and I then get eaten, there's no one to blame but me. The US is simply not a good place to travel to at this time. It would have been even more hell for them if they had to over stay their visa.

    I mean, they may have got a free beating plane ticket home.

    The baby though, that's a natural born US citizen. That's staying here.
