Appearing in The Guardian on June 12, 2025, Jessica Glenza interviews NCLC Senior Attorney April Kuehnhoff for coverage of how medical debt financing and “patient access” companies are pitching their services to struggling rural hospitals nervous about keeping the doors open, as congressional Republicans consider healthcare cuts that could leave 16 million Americans without insurance.
“This really underscores the through line between Medicaid cuts today equal medical debt tomorrow. This is really going to harm the most vulnerable patients in the United States.”
April Kuehnhoff, a senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC).
