California's new law will prohibit sharing medical debt with credit reporting agencies, protecting consumers from impacts on credit scores and employment opportunities.
Sen. Monique Limón and Attorney General Rob Bonta support the new legislation aiming to shield Californians from the negative repercussions of medical debt.
Chi Chi Wu emphasizes that medical debt is not a true measure of financial responsibility, advocating for state laws to protect consumers.
The inclusion of medical debt in credit reports can hinder access to essential needs like housing and employment, according to California lawmakers.
