Originally airing on NPR on June 27, 2023, Bram Sable-Smith discusses state initiatives to cap or even ban certain interest charges on medical debt with Berneta Haynes.
Haynes says policy initiatives should also focus on how to prevent medical debt in the first place.
“Because once it [medical debt] happens, it seems like the situations get more and more complicated and people get left in these gaps.”
Berneta Haynes, senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center
