this is a common pattern I see in discussions, the idea of "going to the hospital and not worrying about bankruptcy" is just unintelligible and so you end up with discussions like this, about how "pregnancy-related-costs are often covered by Medicaid" which completely ignores the conditioning and fear and logistics that means that loads of people in the US simply don't go and get routine preventative care, even if they have what they consider to be "good" insurance.
