What a time to be alive. I find this fascinating. We dont have this obsenty in the UK.
Bernie seems to be the brightest of US politicians.
Sanders and Khanna described the legislation as vital for many families’ financial security, as millions of Americans struggle with the burden of medical debt. According to a 2022 investigation by NPR and KFF Health News, more than 100 million Americans, including 41% of adults, hold some kind of healthcare debt. A KFF analysis of the Census Bureau’s survey of income and program participation suggests that Americans owe at least $220bn in medical
debt.
Thats a lot of people and a lot of momey. If only there was a system that prevented medical debt.
