Melissa did it all right. She went to every doctor's visit when she was pregnant. She is fully-insured. The doctors told her the baby was completely healthy. But once Britton was born, they discovered he had a whole in his heart and severe vision problems. Today, just over 10 months later, they've gotten bills totaling more than $200,000. Melissa and her husband are trying to live the American Dream- work hard and raise a family. But rising health care costs are killing their dream. It's time to do something about it. Health care reform can't wait.
It is stupid that in this country that the medical system says to anyone that they will saddle a insured woman and baby with outrageous cost or let them die.
Doctors used to care about life not profits.
