i had not focused on the insurance aspect of it, only on the lack of support for the parents decision to give their baby every possible chance to survive. i would insist on it myself, were i the parent. And considering that my friend's daughter survived at that weight 14 years ago, and with the advances of technology since that time, it doesn't seem too much to ask for every chance to be given. my friend had health insurance but i recall her saying that the hospital bills were like $75K for that ordeal.
