在有的州，你欠一笔很小的债务。甚至会被逮捕监禁。 如目前正在竞选连任的堪萨斯州MAGA参议员Roger Marshall，他之前是妇产科医生。他雇佣律师起诉了700多个欠他账单的病人（很多只是欠很少的数额, 如其中一个欠$101）. 对于欠款余额，他收18% 的利息。 因为有的病人没去上法庭，他的律师就请求法官签发逮捕令。一共有81个病人被逮捕拘留。一个叫Joe Vasquez的，他和他太太在复活节当天正在和孙子女玩找蛋游戏时被逮捕关押。 Roger Marshall并请求扣押了这些病人的银行账户。
其中一个产妇，因为欠了$129 的账单，在新生儿9个月的时候，银行账户被扣押。 在有些地方，有的人真是穷。
Kellie Clutts was sued in 2015 over a $129 charge from a postpartum visit, filed when her daughter was 9 months old. Marshall's firm eventually garnished her bank account.
"I had every intention to pay, I was just struggling," Clutts, 45, said. "I was recently divorced, trying to do everything on my own. I told them I could make partial payments, but it seemed like no matter what I said, they wanted the full amount at once."
