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.

The American medical system charged their case with that astronomical amount in the first place.
Then the insurance is incorrect for the situation. IOW if you know the US charges stupid prices then insurance should be commensurate. Or not go to the US. Not blaming the people, just an insurance company that is inept.
Apparently if you ask for an itemised bill (Which they have no right to refuse) they tend to lower the price because they can’t actually justify the random numbers they came up with.
