Sheldon Whitehouse actually said...

"The Medical Bankruptcy Fairness Act would change that."

"As we in Congress continue working on broad legislation to reform our broken health care system and ensure accessible, affordable health insurance for all Americans, we take advantage of this hearing ..."

"I believe the Medical Bankruptcy Fairness Act, introduced by Chairman Whitehouse, would help families like mine recover from medically-based financial hardship."

"Families who think they are protected may be only one accident, one injury or one diagnosis away from family bankruptcy."
