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.

I feel like you should be able to tell them to go fuck themselves, since children can't sign contracts.

    Oh, that's the fun part of it - it's your debt, but on the children's insurance. They're moving the care from one patient to another (to max out family out of pocket charges), but the parents are on the contract and can be sued.
