The Medical Debt Bill
Medical debt can't be used to take your home
Prohibition on lien for medical debt.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would stop hospitals or doctors from putting a lien on your house if you owe them money for medical care.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill is a good thing for people who are struggling to pay medical bills. It would make sure that even if you can't pay, the hospital can't take your home away from you. This is important because a home is where your family lives and it's usually the most valuable thing you own. Losing your home because of a medical bill would be a terrible hardship. This bill would protect families from that kind of disaster.
