That seems more complicated than just having gubmit healthcare. One problem is that the debt is owed to a private hospital, not the gubmit, so the gubmit does not have standing, not to mention by charging $10,000 it is charging substantially more than owed. I can't see Congress enacting such a bill. The hospitals themselves could attempt to place real estate liens or garnish wages, but these methods are both slow and expensive. In the meantime, the situation remains unchanged.
