Patient and consumer advocates are looking to Kamala Harris to accelerate federal efforts to help people struggling with medical debt if she prevails in next month's presidential election.
While the Biden administration has made strides in easing medical debt, advocates stress that further actions are required, urging the next Congress to prioritize medical debt protections.
More than 100 million Americans are burdened by medical debt, complicating their financial situation to the point where many sacrifice essential needs just to cope with payments.
Mona Shah from Community Catalyst noted that despite substantial achievements in addressing the medical debt crisis, the incoming administration must maintain focus on expanding those protections.
