Health care debt and costs.

Summary

The proposal would give the Indiana attorney general authority to enforce rules that protect consumers from wage garnishment and principal‑residence liens for health‑care debts. It would also require hospitals to provide payment‑plan options, disclose charity‑care programs, and include financial‑assistance information on billing statements for patients who meet certain income thresholds. The goal is to lessen the financial strain of medical bills on low‑income residents.
