In response to "Bernie Sanders & Ro Khanna to announce bill that would eliminate medical debt -- (link)" by znufrii

Love it. Do have a question though.

- 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.

- While 7% of white adults and 8% of Hispanic adults said they carry medical debt, 13% of Black Americans reported having unpaid medical bills.

Those numbers aren't measuring exactly the same thing, but they are still rather disparate, no?

Looking into the KFF report, it includes people who carry debt on credit cards, or some other financing arrangement -- (edited) - znufrii May 8, 08:59 2

  - Which raises an interesting question of if and how that sort of debt might be addressed by this bill. -- nm - znufrii May 8, 09:02
