Some hospitals sue patients in bulk for unpaid medical bills, even if the defendants are already facing financial hardship or bankruptcy. These lawsuits often don’t bring hospitals much money, yet they still pursue them. Dan Weissman, host of “An Arm and a Leg,” investigates this practice with The Baltimore Banner and Scripps News, speaking to patients who have been sued and Nick McLaughlin, an entrepreneur urging hospitals to stop pursuing money from people who don’t have it. The program features the story of Casey and Ron Gasior, who faced medical debt and bankruptcy, only to be pursued by law firms for more payments. The investigation aims to provide insights and resources to assist people facing similar situations.
