Kentucky just put $2.5 million toward erasing about $250 million in medical debt for 130,000+ people—roughly $100 wiped out per dollar. Resistbot is asking your state lawmakers, and everyone running for those seats in 2026, to do the same and ban home liens and wage garnishment over medical bills.
Buy Up and Erase Medical Debt
Nobody chooses to get sick, and nobody should lose their home over it. Yet medical debt follows people for years—through collections, liens, and garnished paychecks—for bills they never had a real chance to pay. Old medical debt sells for pennies on the dollar, so a modest amount of public money can wipe out an enormous amount of it.
