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.
