How true is this? I am not able to find much research to back this up.

Medical debt almost didn’t count on a lot of things anyways before this .

This was for paid off medical debts but they are looking to eliminate medical debt from credit reports altogether as most people don’t take them into account in credit decisions anyways.

My father had 22k in medical debt and still bought a new car and house right before he died in 2017 .

It is how it should be. It’s not like I ran up my credit card traveling. I went into the ER because I had lost consciousness, was in the er for 6 hours and now I owe over $2500.

I don’t know how that doesn’t sound like health system is profit driven non-profit or not. Maybe a medical executive doesn’t need to make 300k a year.
