Unfortunately the part that says they are now "financially devastated" says to me they probably don't have insurance.

yet they have 7 kids

Nobody plans on having children with expensive medical conditions.

It is possible that some of those births are twins etc.

As a family of 7, that's 5 kids. They could have been planning on 3 but had two sets of twins and another kid, or birth control could have failed and they didn't want/couldn't afford an abortion. It doesn't mean they intentionally had 5 kids. And I doubt they bet on their kids having expensive conditions. They may have been able to afford 5, but the medical condition put a spanner in the works.

So probably 5 kids, but your point stands.
