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.
I know you’re joking, but Im pretty sure that there was a supreme court case that made debtors prison a thing of the past.

Found it, it was 1983, much more recent than I remembered. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdal/page/file/918356/download
The feds themselves call it a civil rights violation, they have a good chance at a lawsuit. IMO, the judges who sign the arrest warrants need to be debarred or taken out of office or whatever happens to judges.
