Angie Craig will support legislation to protect people from predatory medical debt collection practices and require hospitals to offer more manageable repayment options.

the Patient Debt Relief Act would establish a grant program under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to allow nonprofit organizations to purchase medical debt from hospitals... The bill would also require hospitals to provide affordable repayment options and prohibit hospitals and collection agencies from foreclosing on homes or seizing wages in order to collect medical debt.

Craig introduced legislation to reduce medical debt burdens by curbing aggressive collection tactics and requiring better repayment terms.
