Biden admin to ban medical debt from credit reports, loan decisions: reports

www.foxbusiness.com Biden admin to ban medical debt from credit reports, loan decisions: reports

The Biden administration will propose a new rule to ban credit score companies from considering medical debt when they compile Americans' credit reports.

"Our research shows that medical bills on your credit report aren't even predictive of whether you'll repay another type of loan. That means people's credit scores are being unjustly and inappropriately harmed by this practice," Chopra told the outlet in an interview.

Non-partisan take: You shouldn’t be penalized for needing medical care, no matter who you are.
- Hi Boba how are you ? What do you mean by
  
  shouldn't be penalized
  
  I actually need to go get a check up but I need to check my insurance. Keep putting it off....
  
  Do it! Your health is important! ❤️
Hot damn! That would have saved me so much hardship when I was younger. I would be stoked if other people don't have to face such things.
Can’t say I disagree with this decision. Wasn’t it recently decided that anything under $500 wouldn’t be reported?
