Nobody chooses to get sick, and nobody should lose their home over it. Yet medical debt follows people for years — through collections, liens, and garnished paychecks — for bills they never had a real chance to pay. Here’s the part the collectors don’t advertise: old medical debt sells for pennies on the dollar, which means a modest amount of public money can wipe out an enormous amount of it. States and cities have already done exactly that, clearing debt for thousands of families at once. Resistbot is asking your state lawmakers, and everyone running for those seats, to fund a program that buys up and erases residents’ medical debt, and to ban home liens and wage garnishment over medical bills for good.
