    Looks like needed reform here. Since the new bankruptcy laws took effect in 2005, poorer people have been in a worse bind than ever. This bill doesn't fix everything like a repeal of the new bankruptcy laws would, but it does provide needed relief for family members and individuals suffering under crushing debt due to catastrophic health problems.
