Roger Marshall net worth: Kansas Senator’s wealth in focus as report flags lawsuits against ‘poor’ patients

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall has an impressive net worth of $6.06 million, according to Quiver Quantitative, a market analysis firm. But the source of that wealth could potentially be sketchy, a New York Times report on Tuesday flagged.

According to the New York Times, a significant portion of the Kansas Senator’s wealth may have come from lawsuits against his patients. The exclusive report revealed that Marshall, who is also a gynecologist, has sued over 700 patients for not paying their medical dues, charging a fixed annual interest rate of 18% on them.

The report has revealed that Sen. Marshall has sued people over debts as little as $108. At least 81 of Sen. Marshall’s former patients were arrested because of the lawsuits. Most of the cases are between 1998 and 2016, when Se. Marshall stopped his practice following his election to the US Congress. However, between 2017 and 2021, he continued to collect some of the dues through legal action.

The report has raised alarm over the financial condition of some of the patients that the 66-year-old Senator has sued. The NYT revealed that many of the sued patients were from Barton County, Kansas – a rural area where most of the patients lived in poverty and without the support of health insurance. It added that Marshall sought arrest warrants from the judges for the unpaid bills, 81 of which were issued. A spokesperson from the office of the Senator pushed the responsibility for the arrest warrant on the judges and the Senator. “Judges issue warrants when people repeatedly miss court dates, not doctors,” the spokesperson told NYT. The patients sued had undergone procedures like late miscarriages requiring surgery, emergency hysterectomy and even postpartum visits in some cases.
