We simply need a sort of statute of limitations for B2C transactions.
- Your employer can incorrectly pay you for a long time and then demand the money back.
- A hospital bill can come (afaik) anytime in the future
- You can dispute charges, the provider can fail to provide customer service, but your credit score is negatively affected.
Etc.
We need bills that focus on favoring the "little guy" in the fight so that wealth, dominance, and power are mitigated in justice.
EDIT: actually the bit about employer overpay being for "Decades" and demand back was not entirely true, depends on the state, ranges from weeks to 15 years according to my googling.

- supertrope 3y agoA lot of health plans consider any bill presented more than a year from the date of service forfeited. Medical billing is notoriously slow, opaque, and fragmented. On the insurance side they tend to be super slow in payment running 120 days behind forcing the hospital to de facto provide vendor credit to insurance companies that are way better capitalized than they are.
