May 8, 2024, 06:39 PM

Representative Ro Khanna, along with Senator Sanders, introduced a bill aimed at eliminating all existing medical debt for over 100 million Americans and removing it from their credit reports. This legislative move follows discussions on the extensive financial burden of medical debt on citizens in a wealthy nation like the U.S. The bill, supported by Congressional Democrats, seeks comprehensive relief by erasing medical debts entirely and clearing them from credit reports, reflecting an urgent call for systemic reforms in healthcare financing.
