Medical debt collection reform

Would have barred collection agencies from threatening arrest, pursuing liens on primary residences, or garnishing wages over medical debt, and delayed extraordinary collection actions until 180 days after a first bill. Vetoed over concerns it could discourage responsible payment and raise health care costs.
