From personal experience.

Our two youngest children have never incurred more that the standard
insurance deductible for doctor visits (originally $5, now $10).  They have
never had prescription meds.  OTOH, my husband had testicular cancer in
1997.  Surgery, radiation therapy, and visits to three doctors (urologist,
oncologist and radiation oncologist) in just 6 months topped $50,000.  He
still sees all three doctors 2x/year and has 2 CAT scans/year.
Breastfeeding is darned cheap compared to him.
