SOMETHING CALLED REGULATORY DISALLOWANCES.

BASICALLY, THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD RECOVER COSTS, REGULATORS ARE NOW TELLING THEM THEY'RE ON THE HOOK FOR.

WITHOUT THAT LOSS, THEY WOULD HAVE MADE NEARLY A BILLION DOLLARS IN PROFITS.

THEIR PROFITS MORE THAN TRIPLED BETWEEN 2007 AND 2023.

>> SALVADOR ESCODIENDO HELPED ORGANIZE A RALLY BEFORE THE MEETING.

HE SAYS THE COUNCIL WAS BEING COWARDLY BY HIDING BEHIND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

>> THE FACT THAT TO TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR OWN NEIGHBORS BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID OF SOME PALM BEACH POLITICIAN THAT'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S COWARDLY AND IT'S REALLY SAD HONESTLY THAT WE CAN'T COUNT ONLY LOCAL OFFICIALS TO SHOW A FRACTION OF THE COURAGE THAT THEIR OWN RESIDENTS EXHIBITED.

>> MIA, IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.

NATIONWIDE 100 MILLION PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH SOME KIND OF HEALTH CARE RELATED DEBT.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO KFF A NONPARTISAN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.

IT'S FORCING SOME AMERICANS TO MAKE REALLY HARD CHOICES.

GET THE CARE THAT THEY NEED OR FORGO IT TO SAVE MONEY.

>> LEE, WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT REPORT.

BUT CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT HOW CALIFORNIA MAY BE STEPPING UP TO HELP THE ISSUE OF MEDICAL DEBT?

>> MIA, WE DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS.

CALIFORNIA HAS DONE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT.

RECENTLY PASSED LAW PROHIBITS MEDICAL DEBT FROM APPEARING ON YOUR CREDIT REPORTS WHICH CAN REALLY HELP PEOPLE OUT.

THERE'S ALSO HOSPITAL CHARITY CARE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, HOSPITALS MUST PROVIDE FREE OR DISCOUNTED CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE LOWER INCOME.

AND IN L.A.

COUNTY SPECIFICALLY, THEY HAVE A MEDICAL DEBT RELIEF PROGRAM.

ARE USING THE FUNDS TO PURCHASE OR WIPE OUT DEBT FOR PROVIDERS WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROGRAM.
