Tell MI Senators: Medical Debt Is Not a Personal Failure

---

Details

Senate Bills 701 and 702 are about protecting people from being financially destroyed by medical debt. SB 701 strengthens consumer protections around medical debt, making it harder for patients to be hit with unfair interest, fees, or abusive collection practices. SB 702 draws a clear line by stopping extreme actions like wage garnishment or foreclosure when the debt comes from medical care. Together, these bills recognize that getting sick or needing care should not put someone at risk of losing their home, their paycheck, or their future. These bills acknowledge a simple truth: medical debt is not a personal failure, and Michigan families deserve safeguards that keep a health crisis from turning into a lifelong financial crisis.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. I’m calling to urge [SENATOR] to vote YES on Senate Bills 701 and 702.

Medical debt should never cost someone their home or push them deeper into crisis just because they needed medical care. These bills protect families from extreme medical debt collection practices and help ensure people can recover from illness without financial ruin. I want [SENATOR] to stand up for Michigan families and support these bills. Thank you.
