Sometimes a story has a lot of lessons.
For instance, you’re lucky you live in Canada. You’re lucky you have free healthcare. You’re lucky your baby didn’t set you back a million dollars.
‘Cause that’s what giving birth has done to a Saskatchewan woman whose water broke when she was six months pregnant and on vacation in Hawaii last year.
According to Global News, “Jennifer Huculak was nearly six months pregnant when her water broke while on vacation in Hawaii in October 2013. After a lengthy hospital stay, Huculak’s daughter, Reece, was born prematurely and required a two-month stay in the neonatal intensive care unit.”
Yes, Huculak had purchased insurance before going.

Yes, Huculak is facing bankruptcy.
So just remember: million dollar baby jokes are only funny when they don’t apply to you.
