32. If they don't pay the bill, they can sue.
If suing is inconvenient, then tough. That's how it works. ERs do not allow people to die in the ER because they don't pay. They help them, and later they sue if necessary. Same with any other business that needs to collect.

If the legal fees cannot be recouped from non-payers, the fire department can raise the price for non-subscribers who actually pay the bill when fires hit their house to cover them.
