No. The VAST MAJORITY of people have debt and legally pay it back or legally declare bankruptcy.
These people, for many reasons, have not done that so the court needs to hold them accountable and that means meetings (Court Appearances).
Yes, I understand all that. These cases are specifically debt owed for healthcare. And whether it's for debt or for illegal gambling, if a person is in prison, he is in prison.
Once upon a time the human race evolved sufficiently to no longer imprison people for debt. Those days are gone in certain jurisdictions.
