Katie’s work to ease the burden of medical debt

Medical debt shouldn’t cause Americans a lifetime of financial harm. [Katie Porter for Senate]( Did you know that roughly one in five Americans owe medical debt? This debt primarily comes from hospital visits—and it disproportionately impacts low-income Americans and people of color. Like any type of other debt, carrying this burden can have significant ramifications when it comes to adversely affecting credit scores, which in turn can prevent someone from acquiring a loan, mortgage, or even an apartment. Earlier last month, the Biden Administration announced that it was taking the first steps toward removing this burden from people’s credit scores, which could significantly improve ratings for millions. This announcement comes as Katie has worked tirelessly in Congress to champion legislation that would ease the burden of medical debt so many face. And once elected to the U.S. Senate, she will continue to work to push to ensure that medical debt won’t cause a lifetime of financial harm and to create a more just and equitable healthcare system.
