Roger Marshall Denounces Report on 700 Patient Lawsuits as Schumer-Backed Hit Job

Summary
Roger Marshall rejected a New York Times report that said his former OB-GYN practice sued more than 700 patients and that 81 were arrested after missing court dates, calling it a Democratic political attack.
Marshall said unpaid bills typically sat for nine months to a year before going to collections and that outside agencies—not him—handled later steps, including any court actions.
The Kansas Republican also said only a small fraction of unpaid bills went to collections, arguing his office accepted minimal payments and that he never wanted patients arrested over debts.
Adam Hamilton’s campaign countered that Marshall’s own lawyer sought an 18% interest rate—50% above Kansas’s statutory rate—and pursued warrants, arrests and garnishments, including over bills as low as $115.
The dispute lands as Marshall seeks a second Senate term in a race Republicans still favor, though the allegations have already surfaced on the campaign trail during a JD Vance appearance.
