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.
