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.
Same with any hospital visit here afaik. Most hospitals have a loophole if you can’t pay, you can dispute the fees, they check your income, etc… like others have said I think it affects your credit score either way. But it’s all part of the privatized healthcare grift.
