Could I get arrested at the hospital while giving birth if I have a warrant out for my arrest?
I just now received notice in the mail that I've had a warrant out for my arrest from a speeding ticket I forgot I had gotten 6 months ago. (I have moved sense then and I guess it took this long to get to my new address). The warrant is in a different county and I do not have the money to pay it until next month, and I am schedualed to be induced in 9 days, I heard from somone that they could arrest me at the hospital, is this true? and please dont give me rude and useless answers like "You are a horrible mother" and things of that sort, that is just nasty and uncalled for.
Homebirth vs Hospital Birth?
Please tell me your thoughts, detail encouraged. Stats, studies, resources, whatever you have I would love to see what you all think or know about the two. Thank you!!
What happens if a tourist woman can't pay the medical bill for giving birth in the USA and Canada?
My daughter was born in the US and we left a month after she was born. From my experience, no one will stop you as you are discharged from the hospital and detain you or the baby until they receive payment. The hospital, doctors, labs and anyone else will simply mail you their bills and expect payment. In many cases, you can call the healthcare providers that billed you and negotiate a lower fee, especially because you are not insured and are a self-pay patient.In the hospital’s case, we received two bills: the c-section delivery bill was $ 37,000. Because we didn’t have insurance, they gave us a discount and brought the bill down to $ 5,500. You read that right. If an insurance company was paying the bill, they would have paid $ 31,500 completely unnecessarily. The second bill was for my daughter’s NICU treatment. The subtotal was approximately 10K, but the discount brought the bottom line to $ 1100. No wonder the healthcare system is so messed up over there.I talked to the hospital and they agreed to charge my credit card $ 500 per month until the bills were paid, and they did just that.The anesthesiology practice sent me a bill for $4500. I called them and ended up paying $ 2000 instead.I may have missed a few bills and they could be sitting on the desk of a collection agency rep, gathering dust for the past two years, but I don’t think they will issue a kill-on-sight order for a couple of thousand. In the worst case scenario, I’ll avoid setting foot in the state she was born in for the rest of my life, and that state being New Jersey… I guess you can see where this is headed.In theory, I could have torn up all the bills that came in the mail, stiffed my wife’s OB/GYN for the balance of his fee, and flown home with a “free” US passport for my daughter. But I paid almost everything they sent me because 1) the medical staff did a great job and deserved to be paid; 2) I essentially “bought” my daughter a US passport and a mere 11K in total is a paltry sum to pay for that; and 3) the total was only about one-third more than what I would have paid for delivery under similar circumstances in our home country of Turkey.
Is it legal to literally give your baby away? without adoption or anything? asking for crazy person,not self?
crackhead...crazy person??? that's deep. but, ironically....it's because of this "crackhead" that you are a parent. kinda odd, heh? also, is she attempting to give the baby to "your" MIL or her MIL??? i'm confused. although i would NEVER support placing a child in an unsafe situation, i fail to see how this woman's substance use is relevant. and i really hope you are not calling this child's mother a crackhead in her [the child's] presence. anyway...regarding "giving baby away": many states have safe haven laws where women can leave their babies (usallly at hospitals, fire stations, child protection agencies) without penalty. ETA: i find it AMAZING that we are so quick to judge substance use when it's poor, marginalized people. but, where is the judgment against about 40% of the affluent doctor's wives in my neighborhood (some of whom are parents and *gasp* aparents) who are pill-popping tranqs, and barbituates...with a vodka chaser?... but i guess it ok to only judge poor women whose substance use we can exploit. get over yourselves... seriously. and i reiterate, i find it interesting how quickly we demonize the very same women whose children we are quick to commendeer fresh from the womb.
