No one should go bankrupt from receiving health care. Yet 60% of people experiencing bankruptcy in America cite medical expenses as a leading cause. Thanks to the No Surprises Act (NSA) of 2020, more than 1 million surprise medical bills per month are now prevented from reaching consumers.

​

Major challenges, however, could prevent the NSA from realizing its full potential to protect consumers from the impact of surprise billing. Since the law went into effect on January 1, 2022, some detractors have waged a relentless campaign to undermine these protections. They have filed a series of lawsuits aimed at overturning key provisions in the law and regulations.
