Senators Murray, Cantwell Introduce Legislation to Protect Tribal Members from Undue Medical Bill Debt Collection

Statement

"It's plain unfair for tribal members' credit scores to suffer simply because IHS is late reimbursing providers for care--these inefficiencies are no fault of the tribal members who are seeing their credit dinged. This legislation is a much-needed fix to an issue affecting the credit of tribal members in Washington state and I'm glad to join my colleagues in introducing it."
