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.

There's so, so, so, so, so much I could say about this topic.

Number 1: Why are any of you cunts even coming to the USA anymore? Sincerest apologies for victim blaming, and obviously my stupid ass has not read the article (gonna do that later).

Number 2: US healthcare costs are a scam.

Number 3: Healthcare insurance is a gamified scam.

I think coming to the US to murder Trump is a very valid reason for travel.

The dates are not clear on the article, but it's possible that the birth was even pre Trump.. the couple was touring, they're musicians.
