WTF? Canadian mother million dollar medical bill [PHOTOS\VIDEO]
WTF? Canadian mother million dollar medical bill [PHOTOS\VIDEO], A dream vacation has turned into a financial nightmare for one Saskatchewan couple, after a mom-to-be gave birth while on vacation in Hawaii.
Jennifer Huculak and her husband have been saddled with a medical bill of nearly $1 million after she gave birth to her daughter in the U.S.
The birth came nine weeks early and the child was placed in intensive care for two months --a treatment that costs upwards of about $15,000 per day. Huculak herself required six weeks of bed rest in a Hawaiian hospital and received a bill for $950,000.
Prior to her trip, Huculak purchased Blue Cross insurance, and she sought out medical clearance from her doctor to travel. Still, the family returned home with the lofty bill by which to remember the trip.
But Jennifer said she didn’t have a high-risk pregnancy; but rather a bladder infection that led to bleeding.
Now, she and her husband are trying to decide if they should try and fight Blue Cross, declare bankruptcy, or wait and see what happens. For more and additional photos go here.
