is to make the "balance billing" amounts billed to individuals uncollectible, at least in cases of emergencies where the patient him/herself give informed consent. By uncollectible that means it falls into the same category as debts after the 7-year limit: the hospital can bill you and bug you, and some patients may be scared into paying, but the courts won't give them a judgment or act to enforce it.
Could this possibly get snuck into an innocuous bill somehow?
