Amazing. That's less than the meal I just ate in the cafeteria at the hospital (Chicago suburbs) where I'm waiting for my daughter to be born; for her birth, I was told my cost will be somewhere between $3k-$7k, but I won't know until the hospital has settled up with our insurance company.

Being charged to give birth is one of the things I find most incomprehensible about the US system :(

Well, that was a small additional charge. Not what the insurance cost - which I got through my previous job so not sure what it cost (NB I did pay tax on it, but wasn't a huge amount).

For a reference point, our health insurance costs $650/month. Wife is on a PPO plan, I'm on a high deductible plan (out of pocket for any costs until I've spent $6000 in a year).
