Hospital bills in the US are a scam, they give huge discounts to insurance companies, expecting to make a profit on any remaining amount, then insurance companies charge patients only a part of that while covering the rest.

Still 8 weeks in hospital, airlift and therapy is gonna bite. A lot. I feel bad for the child--a victim of his (you know what) parents--but the parents deserve to suffer a bit, financially too.
