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.
The average out-of-pocket payment is under 3k.
You say that like it’s not supposed to say over 2.5k. Making any price under something makes it seem cheap. And let’s not forget that the majority in the US don’t have 1k in their bank at the end of the month.
I say that because the average was some number that hadn’t reached 3k.
