RE: Today I visited a true Voluntarist community!

Not sure if this is a realistic guide but my father-in-law was staying with us from Australia about 6 years ago, and had to be taken to the emergency room for a liver operation. It wasn't a huge operation, but it required 3 nights of hospital stay afterwards. The bill was about $2K for the surgeons, etc. and about $35K for the hospital. So I am thinking about $10K per night is a guide. That would put your wife's entire procedure, NICU costs & hospital stay at about $200K all up. Considering what you paid, that works out to about 2.5% of the US price. It is a pretty attractive proposition if you can plan out hospitalization.
