Fifteen million Americans will see the removal of $49 billion in unpaid medical bills from their credit reports due to a financial ruling by the US government agency.
The vice president also shared that several states and localities are utilizing funds from the American Rescue Plan to help eliminate more than $1 billion in medical debt for over 700,000 Americans.
“No one should be denied economic opportunity because they got sick or experienced a medical emergency,” Harris said.
“We also reduced the burden of medical debt by increasing pathways to forgiveness and cracking down on predatory debt collection tactics.”
