Good god, no coverage for pregnancy? I'm glad I live in Canada...
My wife just had a baby, no complications mind you, but all I paid was 14 dollars for a 7 day parking pass, and they even sent us home loaded down with diapers and creme and crap. Same thing for all the leadup tests, ultrasounds, followups, etc. Nothing paid out of pocket.
Of course, lets not discuss dental care, or vision care, or drug coverage, etc. We Canadians still need private. A cancer diagnosis can still finish with you in the poor house from the necessary drugs.
300$ seems like a reasonable price to me. I pay almost 150$ for my half of my employer supplied private insurance that covers the dental, vision, presecription, massage, chiropractor, etc)
