Insurance is why I didn't go bankrupt when my kids were born.
My twins were born 6 weeks premie at a hospital 126 miles from the nearest NICU. C-section with 3 Pediatic Docs+Surgeon and team (32k), life flight to NICU by helo with a flight paramedic and NICU Dr. (55k), 4 weeks in NICU with 24/7 care from every specialist you can name (450k). My out of pocket was 1500 bucks. I dont really think any gov official needs to be deciding if my kids were worth that kind of money...We almost lost my son in the OR and my daughter 3 times in NICU. Every single penny their care cost was to make sure they had the best of the best taking care of them. No way I could have ever paid for that on a (at the time) 45k a year gov salary.
