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.

      When he leaves California, he will leave his salary too (and possibly his industry too)

        It will still be more affordable. We couldn’t afford to live in SoCal after my daughter was born. We moved back to Indiana where we grew up and, as awful as Indiana is in many ways, at least we could afford to buy a house.

          Remote doesn’t pay the same if you’re not in a HCOL area. Most jobs scale based on location
