I’m Canadian. And I’m already sorry for asking an ignorant question.

I know you have to pay for hospital visits in the states. I know lower economic status can come with lower access to birth control and sex education. But then, how do they afford to give birth? Do people ever avoid hospital visits because they don’t feel like they can’t afford it?

Do hospitals put people on a payment plan? Is it possible to give birth and not pay if you don’t have the means? How does it work in the states?

How does it all work?

Again. Canadian. And sorry.

    You distinguished between medical centers and hospitals, while most practices are hospital-owned now. It just sounded like you didn’t quite know that, sorry.

      Perhaps I could have included a list of other places as an example that can refuse you for financial reasons. It would have helped for people not familiar with the system…
