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.

    I have both a heathcare insurance and because my hobby is reenacting (ie, travel with really expensive things and doing dumb things like sleep under a hedge for 2 days) a very good travel insurance which includes healthcare abroad.

    Both go out of their way to point out I have coverage in the entire world except the USA and active warzones.

      You sound like stealth camping extraordinaire Steve Wallis.

      It’s quite funny to think ‘expensive thing’ could be just anything, like an orchestral harp or some of them jewels from the Louvre, and you’re just hanging out under a hedge with a copy of your insurance policy as a pillow haha.
