Every three months is a burden if you're poor.Having a standard audit review to establish if one can not be sued is normal. It is a form of probation as relieve from civil suits.

Debt for medical treatment or death?Do not take on debt you can not afford...
Wow! I'm not sure that you, or anyone else, knows just what you've said here.
The sanctions are criminal. JailIt isn't criminal law. Try again
specifically designed to get at the bail money! Vile creatures!!Every three months is a burden if you're poor.
Well, yeah. Every aspect of the legal system is, and the specifics are not set up at all to favor the poor, but rather stack the cards against them and brutalize them.specifically designed
In some places more than others. Georgia speed traps on Friday evening for exampleWell, yeah. Every aspect of the legal system is, and the specifics are not set up at all to favor the poor, but rather stack the cards against them and brutalize them.
Economics 101. A supplier will set a prize at the point where his income is maximized. That point can be mitigated by various methods. One of those methods is, when you pool the demand side and negotiate. In some countries that pool is the government in others it's the health care insurances. In the US one organization that could effectively negotiate drug prizes is the VA but they are prohibited by law to do so.Real question to me is why is the cost of health care so high. Never seem to find a good answer for that.
I don't. I wasn't referring to the special case but the system as a whole.I tried to find which prison he was sent to.
How do you know it was a private one?
Apparently the medical industry in the U.S.A. is the new Mafia. There is no excuse for this. Thoughts?

The system as a whole has a whole lotta government owned & run prisons.I don't. I wasn't referring to the special case but the system as a whole.
I totally agree with that.The system as a whole has a whole lotta government owned & run prisons.
I know people who've been on both the customer (inmate) & service (guard)
end of the business. It's a bad idea to presume that privatization is the problem.
The whole ding dang rassin frassin Justice Industrial Complex is the problem:
Judges, lawyers, lawmakers, cops, prisons, court reporters, guards, etc.
Rehabilitation is seldom the goal...it's about warehousing, impunity, brutality,
vengeance, incompetence, & carelessness.
Yeah. You better stay out. They might have a warrant out for you. I had a friend who was arrested in California for outstanding tickets.I have a warrant in Kansas for a speeding ticket back in 2000. I'll never pay, and I'll never step foot in that boring, God forsaken state again.
The how to fix it question isn't the stumbling block.I totally agree with that.
There are criminal and bad people in our world and to be safe we have to make sure that's taken care of, but I feel that sometimes the system doesn't work right to fix the problem in long term, but rather it creates more problems. Prison is more like Criminal University for many inmates. They come out worse than they went in. Somehow we're feeding the criminal minds and intellects instead of making it go away. I don't know how it can be changed, but currently America has more people in jail than any other country. A few years ago, not sure if it's still true, we had I think it was over 20% of all prisoners worldwide. We had (maybe still do) more prisoners in numbers than China. Now, I probably should research and confirm that I remember this right, but the numbers I saw was shocking back then. Also, the back log for the courts was (maybe still is) a problem as well. Suspects waiting years for trial, which we have an amendments promising they shouldn't have to (due process).
It's just all really messed up.
Which means you have to take personal days and sick days to leave work. Work that you're doing to try to pay those bills that you'll have to defend in court that you can't pay. I suspect it's the reason why debtors prison was abolished, because it basically made it harder to pay of the debt. If they have a job they can't leave, maybe you'll get fired even, then suddenly you're a criminal.Every three months is a burden if you're poor.
I have an outstanding speeding ticket in Oregon from back in 1977.Yeah. You better stay out. They might have a warrant out for you. I had a friend who was arrested in California for outstanding tickets.
Yeah. That's probably true. It's an unwillingness to actually have a serious discussion about it in society.The how to fix it question isn't the stumbling block.
It's the lack of will by voters & leaders.
I kind'a remember that from some reading years ago. Each president wants to show they're tough on crime.Consider...
No one put more people in Prison than Bill Clinton,
yet he's a beloved scamp of an ex-Prez.
You people you. Didn't know I was consorting with such deprived criminal elements. Not sure if I can associate with you anymore.I have an outstanding speeding ticket in Oregon from back in 1977.
Hey, that's just a misdemeanor.You people you. Didn't know I was consorting with such deprived criminal elements. Not sure if I can associate with you anymore.
Well, I only have had a few tickets in my life, but all paid off. Don't want to leave things like that after my friends experience.
