On one hand that's awful. On the other hand I can understand the insurance company balking at that price.
I'm in the UK. My ex considered private C section, and checked prices in the UK. We could have had it done by one of the top specialists in the country for ~12k GBP including the subsequent hospital stay.
In the end we chose not to, and our total costs were ~40 pounds/night for her to get a private room (NHS is allowed to charge for some extras) instead of sharing.

I agree. I briefly looked into moving to the US due to work, and dealing with US level healthcare was one of those things that just made it a lot less attractive.
