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.
