Our son was born 8 weeks premature & was in the NICU for a couple of weeks.
The uninsured price would have been ~$25,000 per day. In 2006.

Depends. I knew a man whose wife received $1.5 million in treatment for Stage IV breast cancer.
I knew another guy whose car got hit by a kid blowing past a stop sign at 100mph. He woke up from a three-day coma with a $100,000 medical bill.
Most other medical stories I know were <$40k, though.

What a mess! Wyoming has some of the least competitive ACA markets in the country. In places like Teton County, there has often been only one ACA insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming). That lack of competition drives prices way up. This is ridiculous.
