Dear Senator / Representative —

What are you doing this week to make healthcare more affordable? I would like you to include, “keep medical debt off credit reports” on your to-do list.

More than 100 million Americans are estimated to have health care debt. In response, more than a dozen states have instituted laws to keep these unpaid bills off consumer credit reports, but this current Republican Administration wants to reverse that.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued new guidance that challenges state laws, saying only the federal government can decide what can go in a credit report. Consumer advocates say that move could undercut state-level protections and worsen the financial strain on Americans burdened by medical bills.

No one voluntarily goes into medical debt.

Americans deserve a healthcare program that doesn’t leave them drowning in medical debt.

I would like you to hit the healthcare issue in detail every day, in every speech, in every media appearance until Congress comes up with a comprehensive healthcare plan that serves all Americans, not just the insurance companies and the rich.

What is your plan to get debt-free, affordable healthcare to everyone? Please talk about it constantly.
