Roger Marshall Sued 700 Patients for Debts; 81 Were Arrested. Now He’s a Senator.

Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas, previously an OBGYN, has faced scrutiny after it was revealed that he sued over 700 of his former patients for unpaid medical bills, with some individuals even being arrested. The New York Times uncovered that Marshall charged interest rates as high as 18 percent, leading to severe financial consequences for his patients, including bank account garnishments. This situation raises questions about the ethical responsibilities of public officials and the impact of their past actions on vulnerable individuals, especially given his current role in the Senate.
