Fox News
The Biden administration unveiled a proposal to eliminate medical debt records from the credit reports of U.S. citizens as part of an effort to address coercive debt collection methods.
Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters that more than 100 million Americans had unpaid medical debt.
"Many of the debts people have accrued are due to medical emergencies," she said. "We know credit scores determine whether a person can have economic health and wellbeing, much less the ability to grow their wealth."
