There would have been NO way for anyone to have know she'd have to stay in the hospital for 7 days (which was a large portion of the cost)...
If we had simply budgeted for a "routine" pregnancy, we'd have been waaaaaaay off.
Don't get me wrong...i'm not defended our effed up health care system as a whole...but there are merits and reasonable reasons behind why presenting up front costs is a huge hurdle to overcome.
