Hey John, check
out this email from Ro Khanna and his work to cancel medical debt for
millions of Americans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
John,
Healthcare costs in America are out of control, forcing people to make an
impossible choice between forgoing treatment or racking up medical debt.
The consequences are devastating.
40% of Americans report carrying medical debt.^1 It's the leading cause of
bankruptcy for middle—and working class Americans, even those with health
insurance.
25% of Americans say they have skipped healthcare due to costs.^2 An
estimated 68,000 people die a year because they lack access to
healthcare.^3
There is no reason people should carry medical debt in the world’s
wealthiest country. It’s time for Congress to wipe the slate clean and
pass the Medical Debt Cancelation Act, legislation Ro Khanna and Bernie
Sanders introduced that would end the burden of punishing medical bills
once and for all.
The Medical Debt Cancelation Act will:
✅Cancel all existing medical debt.
✅Wipe medical debt from all credit reports.
✅Limit the accrual of future medical debt.

debt for millions of Americans.
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Nobody should have to go into debt
and face financial ruin just for getting sick or injured.
