Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw its protections against deceptive debt collection practices for medical bills. If approved, this resolution would force the agency to keep its rules in place that limit how aggressive debt collectors can be when pursuing people for unpaid medical debts. This affects millions of Americans who struggle with medical debt and the debt collection companies that pursue them.
