Virginia recently enacted the Medical Debt Protection Act to stop predatory collection practices that target families struggling with healthcare costs. A medical emergency should not cause you to lose your home. Many people feel the heavy weight of hospital bills that seem impossible to pay. It is not your fault that survival costs drive financial ruin in this country. For years, aggressive collectors used the legal system to seize homes from families. This new legislation creates a long-awaited barrier against those harsh tactics. Your home is a sanctuary that should never become a casualty of a medical crisis.
