Bankruptcy For Medical Bills May Be On The Horizon
This blog is written by Carmen Dellutri, Esq., Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney and a founding member of the Dellutri Law Group, P.A. and the Bankruptcy Law Network.
On January 28, 2008, the House of Representatives introduced a new piece of legislation called the Medical Bankruptcy Fairness Act. I am in the process of writing a series of blogs on this topic for the Bankruptcy Law Network You can view a copy of Part I. On the one hand, I am glad that individuals who are suffering under the immense pressure of medical bills that they cannot pay will get some added relief. However, the lawyer in me is skeptical. After reading the bill one time, it contains some gaping holes that will need to be filled prior to becoming law.
I will continue to watch the legislation, and if anything new comes out or is written about it, you will find my commentary here.
