Voted for Senate Bill 13, which sets a floor for hospital financial help in Delaware. It covers general hospitals, not psychiatric, rehabilitation, or long-term acute care hospitals. A Delaware resident earning at or below three times the federal poverty level pays nothing for medically necessary hospital care. Between three and three and a half times, the bill is cut by at least 75%, and between that and four times, by at least 50%. Hospitals must also have a hardship policy cutting the bill at least in half when hospital costs reach a tenth of household income. A hospital may set an income limit on that policy, but not below five times the poverty level. While an application is pending, the hospital may not send the debt to collections, report it to a credit agency, or sue. The money rules start on January 1, 2027. The Delaware House passed it 27-13, and it became law.

It also barred any car priced above $50,000. All three limits are gone. The state environment agency now sets the amounts, based on the money it has and on market conditions, and may pay more to households with lower incomes. Businesses, charities, schools, and government bodies can now qualify, and the two-rebate lifetime limit now binds only Delaware residents. The agency can still decide which cars are too costly to qualify. The Delaware House passed it 26-13, and it became law.

Workers must be told first how to opt out, change the amount, pick another fund, and get their money back. Money normally starts coming out about 90 days after hire.
