    I imagine your parents had to pay for birth cert, SSN if you are in US, record of birth, etc. Just gets rolled into the $500k bill you get when having a kid.

      What? Now I’m more lost than before. Hahahhahaa. I’ve got kids… Didn’t cost 500k. Maybe I’m missing a joke here. I’m wondering if you give up your citizenship and they supposedly charge 2800 to do so… Do they send the USMC to collect payment or what?

        I admit i exaggerated it a bit. I think its more like 80k to 150k depending on where and what sort of care is needed for either mother or child. I mean if you have insurance most of this is covered and you just pay deductible etc. I don’t think you can like be garnished for it in most cases but it can affect your credit and hard. The 2350to renounce citizenship is cited in the link I provided in the top of this thread, I didn’t exaggerate that at all.

          Yeah I saw that, that’s crazy. I wonder how the collect that $2850 once you renounce your citizenship. Do they send debt collectors to the country where you have taken up residence?
