err...try the $63,000 baby

Our lack of national health care makes our little socialist go cross-eyed.

So it turns out that it was just $17,000 to bring Chompy McChomps into the world, and then another $46,000 to sustain him for three days.

Yowza!

Kevin's concern, once opening our most recent insurance statement, was whether or not we'd have to pay $500 instead of the $250 we'd anticipated, hinting that it might be a "rip-off" should we have to pay the extra $250. He may be kidding. He probably isn't.

I only mention this because it seems that, really, if we didn't have health insurance we probably wouldn't have had a baby. Or, we would follow the increasingly attractive option of moving to Canada.
