Since the US doesn't have free healthcare...
...Do you have to pay the hospital after giving birth over there?

I think your misunderstanding how things in the USA work, Federal and State healthcare policies aren't the same things.
But even putting aside how healthcare policies are funded, on a state or federal level, No emergency services cannot by law refuse to treat somebody who requires it regardless of their ability to pay.

@xCoinx: I mean, I'm probably misunderstanding something. I'm not from the US, after all, and our healthcare systems seem to be pretty damn different.
Still, I am pretty sure you don't have universal health care over there. Just wondered if that counts with childbirth as well.

@NorthernRoses: the healthcare system in the U.S. Is quite different from the European healthcare system. Both have their flaws but both work as best they can (most of the time) within the context that they emerged

If the woman has health insurance, she has to pay her deductible. If her deductible is $1000 00, then she is billed for that. If her deductible is $15,000, then she has to pay that.

If you don't have health insurance, you have to. If you do have insurance, you pay whatever the insurance doesn't cover.

no one has free health care. "free" healthcare is paid for by someone's taxes.

Yes but most health insurance plans will pay for most if not all of it.
