Rep. Tlaib has proposed a law to remove debts incurred for medically necessary treatments from people's credit reports.

It would be a change for the better, but a very small one. What Americans need is a national medical system funded by the government, rather than a little less hassle when they are forced to borrow the money.

Rep. Tlaib supports that too. So why propose this bill? She must be hoping that some Republicans will support it, and allow it to pass. But is there really any chance they will do so?
