My understanding of the situation is this:

Couple did their due diligence, yes. In respect to the MOTHER. When the kid was born, he/she required intensive care of sorts. This is not covered under the policy as the kid is not insured under the policy, only the mother/father were.

I'm guessing if they had a family policy of sorts, none of this would have happened. Not that they would have thought of that as she wasn't due for a couple of months but it really was dumb to travel when she was that pregnant.
