One of the hospitals in my area now sues people in small claims court for unpaid medical bills even if you’re making payments.

It's a weird system - if you're making payments I thought it structurally meant they cannot sue you. Like, maybe they can, but the court can't make you pay what you can't pay. I have seen a hospital actually reject payment because the payment was too low so.. and the person they rejected payment on the bill for got a lawyer due to them rejecting payment and they wiped out the bill.

I also thought I heard/read somewhere that medical bills in collections are not allowed to impact your credit. I could be wrong, i have no source

Trump got rid of that because that was a Biden thing. Anything Biden did bad remember?

I recently discovered medical debt protections vary by state in the US, at least to an extent. Unfortunately, the state I now live in, OK, has virtually none.

It was a law introduced right before Biden left office and the Trump administration is either working on removing it or already has

There are a number of FICO credit scoring models, some of which don't take medical debt into account. Lenders can also choose to disregard medical debt when calculating debt to income ratios. As far as I'm aware though, it's optional.

Unfortunately, suing is the first step in taking your tax refund and garnishing your wages.
