That the questions are asked honestly indicates how messed up the U.S. healthcare system is. The fear of “socialism” is such a powerful motivator in American politics. The Ferengi would be proud of the U.S.
Sorry, I don’t know the answers to your questions.
I doubt it will make any meaningful differences. Medical building is such a shit show. I routinely receiver bills for a service that happened 9months before, for a procedure i don't even remember. I have no question in my mind that will change one tiny bit.
My way to combat some of that is to wait as long as they did to bill me to pay them or just tell them their window to bill me closed after 6 months. Both tactics work and the debt is no longer pursued

This sounds too good to be true! Is this real or are there exceptions and fine print to this law?
There must have been major lobbying to water this down.
I have a procedure that I will wait till after new year if this is real.
