Human rights group criticizes lack of U.S. hospital regulations on debt
Human Rights Watch decried the U.S. government for lacking regulations to protect the public from racking up debt for hospital care.
The report cited a Kaiser Family Foundation survey that found 41% of adults had outstanding medical or dental debt. The survey also found that about 1 in 4 adults were past due on some type of medical debt. The group says that there is little oversight and inadequate regulation on these hospitals, which it claims operate like for-profit corporations.
The report recommends creating a universal health care system akin to those in many other high-income countries.
