RP: "The Real Cost of Having a Baby"

My apologies, as this story is only loosely related to Poker. It is extremely important, along with hitting too close to home, so I feel compelled to plug it.

Brad 'Otis' Willis is a household name in the poker community, and an all-around good-guy. Prior to writing on poker, Otis was an award winning investigative journalist.

This is the story of his fight against the medical system when his latest child was born.

I can feel for this, as when our 2nd was born, despite having insurance, we faced a litany of strange charges and doctors that came out of the woodwork to claim 'present' at a procedure and charge us $1,000's.

Please read, share your thoughts, and should this blow up bigger, put your weight behind Otis:
