Friend,

Credit scores have an impact on some of the most fundamental elements of
adult life. Whether you’re looking to purchase a house or a car, pursue a
college education, enroll in insurance, or start a small business, a good
credit score is often the deciding factor.

Yet for many Americans, particularly in the South, unpaid medical debt has
resulted in low credit scores that prevent people from obtaining loans or
forcing them to pay higher interest rates. [ [link removed] ]A recent study found a
strong correlation between counties with the largest amount of unpaid
medical debt and the lowest average credit scores. In other words,
Americans are being held back because they can’t afford life-saving
medical treatments, in a region that has consistently failed to expand
Medicaid for lower-income communities.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress: Forgive medical debt and give Americans back their
borrowing power.

Through no fault of their own, millions of people in the South are being
punished for seeking unforeseen, life-saving treatment that was simply
priced too high. Unpaid medical debt is an undue burden that Congress has
the power to eradicate.

[ [link removed] ]Sign if you agree: No one should have to forego medical care for the
sake of financial stability.

In solidarity,
Ro
