Keeping medical debt on credit reports hurts families already struggling with unexpected bills. It’s outrageous — and it’s cruel. I’ve taken on predatory medical debt practices before, and I won’t stop now. #copolitics #philforcolorado #medicaldebt

Hospitals get charity funds but still push aggressive collections that deepen financial harm and health inequities. CDC & public health must treat medical debt as a health equity issue and advocate for protections against predatory debt collection.

Cancer has nearly bankrupted us. We need universal healthcare in this country badly and my story is one of many reasons why.

Can you SHARE this for me so we can pay off #medicaldebt?

I'm really not a huge fan of asking for help, especially in this economic era, but the plain truth is I don't have enough money on my own to pay what our wonderful medical system has deemed a "fair price" for tests and giving me some IV fluids
