Let's see...

Prenatal classes, regular checkups, hospital delivery, overnight stay: Around zero dollars and zero cents. Birth of our second kid, also zero dollars.

My father's cancer treatment (bowel resection and colostomy, at least three different courses of chemotherapy and one dose of radiotherapy, complex resection of most of his liver, partial lung lobectomy, regular home visits by a palliative care Dr. And RN, hospice) cost my mom a bit for some dressing changes and incidentals, so maybe a couple hundred dollars worth of homecare supplies.

Four surgeries amongst immediate family requiring general anesthetic, about zero dollars.

At no point in time, during any of the above, did I ever have to consider if any of it was covered. No deductibles.

I have no complaints.
