Kosierowski (D-Lackawanna), Jim Rigby (R-Cambria/Somerset) and Tim Twardzik (R-Schuylkill) in introducing a bipartisan bill that would create the Pennsylvania Medical Debt Relief Program.

House Bill 79 would target the medical debt of low-income Pennsylvania residents for relief. The Pennsylvania Medical Debt Relief Program would also improve the finances of health care institutions and providers, concentrated largely in rural Pennsylvania, that regularly carry debt that is less likely to be repaid.

Furthermore, the legislation would enact provisions to ensure transparency in existing hospital charity care programs and provide assistance in applying for charity care to prevent the accumulation of new medical debt.
