if u r in visa no much choice pay it. u can seek financial assistant-ship that weavers 25 of your total cost. if u are citizen ( not green card) there are plenty of options. u cannot simply ignore it.

but if u r in any visa status, asylum seeker overstay or anything like that processing GC, applying for good job that needs security clearance, just go ahead n pay it( u can ask to pay in installments )..if u ignore the notice n if ur not a us citizen that creates a HUGE immigration problem in near future.

having no insurance is a SIN in this country, one op my friend got some heart issue in 2014 while he was a student in a community college, had some issue ( not major) was hospitalized for almost 7 days.. he got a surprising bill $73000..there was no way he could pay it he ignored the notice for six month.then he was in legal trouble.. later he got financial assistanceship n the bill reduced to around $30000. he is still paying it n will take almost 4 years from now to settle in full, thank god he has a stable IT job.

point here is dnt ignore the notice, take action, seek financial assistancship ( if u qualify it can reduce upto 70% of total bill depending which state u r in ) .. U r lucky that u just got $2000 surprising bill, it could have been $100000 or even more.. Insure ur kid for future reference.

if u need any legal help, we are here to assist u. gook luck. n all the best
