Unpaid medical debt will no longer appear on credit reports

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

i was wondering why those unpaid co-pays hadn't effected my 800 credit score!
i told them mfers i wanted to self-pay and that i didn't have insurance, but they went and found it and billed it anyway. that's what they get for being greedy


thanks Joe!

Why did he wait until a week before leaving office to do this knowing it would get overturned immediately?

Because he knows the dipshyts that actually follow him think everything is a game and will count this in the win column when trying to convince people to vote Democrat in 4 years.

Because he's a conman just like Trump he just cares about his public image and has been playing this game longer than any of us have been alive so he's a Grand Master.

You guys gotta educate yourselves on how your government and the rule-making process works. This change was announced back in early 2023. It's not some last-minute stunt. Federal agencies have to go through a formal process to create or change such rules. It's not something they can just flip a switch to get done. You have to draft the rule, publish the rule for public comment, review and address the feedback on it, and make sure it's strengthened to stand up to legal challenges. Tackling all of this takes time, especially when you're dealing with strong lobbying and opposition from people/industries who profit from things remaining the same.

Further, this administration has worked on other medical debt relief measures in the meantime.

You’re not wrong but this should’ve been done as soon as he got in office. I know that there are only so many things you can focus on but his other agencies have been aggressive. This one could’ve been aggressive on this issue too.
