[off topic] There was a science fiction story like that years ago.

The father and mother are told they can't take the kid home until they pay the bill, so they leave her there....

In the end the kid grows up to graduate medical school and gets a job at the same hospital; she pays her bill out of her first week's salary...

That's pretty dystopian

Not from a US perspective:

Was able to complete medical school with no money for tuition
Medical bill was small enough to be paid in full with one week of new grad salary
Was able to defer payment for more than 20 years

Being forced to pay for your own birth is pretty dystopian.

I wasn't trying to argue that the premise wasn't dystopian. The point is that the US is currently in many ways even worse. Although I think the parents would be on the hook for the debt in the US, not the child.

I know, stretching believability a lil too much.
