Woman gives birth to eight babies

I agree that the bottom line is the irresponsibility on this woman's part and not just having too many kids.

Can you imagine what the cost must be for the birth and subsequent stays in the NICU?

I don't know if this is up there but just a thought....I remember 20 years ago, I worked at Johns Hopkins Respiratory Unit right around the time that Dr. Carson separated the Binder Twins. Some time after that, I spoke with a friend of mine in the accounts payables department and she showed me the bill for their treatment....which was approximately 5 full boxes (Xerox paper boxes to give you an idea)...West Germany (as it was still separated at the time) picked up the tab.

So, yes one can only wonder.

In 2004, for SIX days of NICU, we had a $45,000 bill AFTER our crappy insurance. SIX days. Imagine eight weeks x 8 kids.
