    Americans’ Medical Debts Are Bigger Than Was Known, Totaling $140 Billion - The New York Times

    Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut introduced legislation last year that would require hospitals to publicly report how they collect debt, and cap the interest rates that patients could owe. The law would also require clear communication from hospitals of what debts are owed before they could turn to a collection agency.

    "I understand that hospitals have pressures to squeeze every dollar out of their consumers," Mr. Murphy said in a recent interview, "but I think they should refrain from the most aggressive debt collection practices."

      Imagine calling people at a hospital "consumers". As opposed to, I don't know, patients? Like they can just choose to put off treatment for their cancer, a broken bone, or a stroke until next week or whenever they feel like it, no big deal. What a fucking goblin.
