Take Action



As a result of our broken healthcare system, millions of Americans are
saddled with medical debt. According to one estimate, Americans owe at
least $220 billion in unpaid medical bills. And no, that’s not a typo.

Living with medical debt is tough. And it’s even tougher when information
about that debt is shared with credit reporting agencies. When medical
debt appears on credit reports, it can make finding housing, buying a car,
or even getting a job nearly impossible.

Earlier this year, Rob was proud to sponsor SB 1061, which would stop
companies from using medical debt in credit scores here in California.
Now, a new rule proposed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB) would do the same nationwide.

This is good news. It’s great news. If the regulation is enacted, it’ll
provide desperately needed relief for millions of Americans.

But nothing is guaranteed: Big Pharma, Wall Street, and health insurance
companies are doing everything they can to stop the proposed rule. To make
sure that it passes, we need to show the CFPB that there is broad public
support for this regulation.

medical debt shouldn’t negatively affect a person’s credit score →

Add Your Name

The more people the CFPB hears from, the more likely they will move this
rule forward. Let’s protect millions of Americans from the negative
impacts of medical debt, no matter what state they live in.
