Medical debt

“Nobody should be made to declare bankruptcy after becoming ill.”

“Patty backs Medicare for All to ensure healthcare as a human right, provide access to more healthcare coverage, reduce prescription drug prices, and end medical bills that have become a burden on middle-class families.”

“No one should delay seeing a doctor because they’re worried about the bill. No family should go bankrupt because someone gets sick.”

“I believe that healthcare is a human right, and that every American should be able to get the care they need, when they need it, without going bankrupt.”

“No one in the United States should have to face bankruptcy because of a healthcare emergency. No one in our country should have to ration life saving medication because of high costs and deductibles, or travel hundreds of miles to receive quality care.”

“Healthcare isn’t just about surviving illness, it’s about having the freedom to live a full and healthy life without the fear of going bankrupt because you got sick. Medicare for All is long overdue. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s the most effective, efficient, and economical proposal we have. We spend nearly twice as much as other wealthy countries on healthcare for worse outcomes and still leave 27 million uninsured. With Medicare for All, every American could save thousands per year while getting better, more reliable care.”

“No one should have to go bankrupt because they get sick. I support universal healthcare – and a Medicare for All system that enrolls all Americans by default and preserves private insurance if desired.”

“No more insurance company greed, no more denying care for profit, no more tying your healthcare to your job, and no more bankrupting families over medical bills.”

“Nobody should go bankrupt because they got cancer. I will expand Medicaid, lower costs, and make sure healthcare is based on need, not net worth.”

“We have the money. It’s about priorities. Instead of tax breaks for billionaires, I will fight to invest in Medicaid, Medicare, and hospitals so families get care without crushing debt.”

“It’s unacceptable that people who have health insurance coverage still fall into medical debt due to sky-high medical costs, that’s why I believe medical debt should be taken off credit reports.”

“Price caps on medication and care Billionaires and corporations should not get to decide how much you go into debt when we’re sick. Their record-breaking profits come out of our wallets, and it’s time for that to end. I will fight to cap the price of medical procedures and prescription drugs across the board to an affordable rate in line with other major countries.”

“Every Missourian deserves quality, affordable healthcare from providers they trust. No family should lose their home or savings to medical debt, and no one should go broke caring for a parent.”

“Cap drug costs at $2,100 a year. Bring Medicare's out-of-pocket cap to private plans so that health issues don't mean bankruptcy.”

“Every Missourian deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare that covers them when they get sick or need to see a specialist. No one should lose their home or life savings to medical debt.”

“Health care is a basic necessity, not a privilege. No family should face financial ruin because they get sick. True affordability means addressing premiums, deductibles, prescription drug costs, and access to providers, especially in rural and underserved communities.”

“We have an obligation to ensure working Americans can afford housing, pursue a quality education, and access health care without the fear of bankruptcy.”

“Patty backs Medicare for All to ensure healthcare as a human right, provide access to more healthcare coverage, reduce prescription drug prices, and end medical bills that have become a burden on middle-class families.”

“Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Angela will co-sponsor Medicare for All, cancel medical debt, break up the healthcare monopolies driving up costs, and invest in local clinics and mental health care that serve everyone, regardless of status or income.”

“I believe healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. I'll fight for Medicare for All, cancel medical debt, and take on insurers and Big Pharma so every family can afford care.”

“Medical debt cancellation. Our broken system is forcing people to choose between their health and going into debt. In Congress, I will support the Medical Debt Cancellation Act to eliminate the $220B in medical debt weighing down working families through no fault of their own.”

“I’ve delivered medical debt relief to hundreds of thousands of Cook County residents and will lead similar efforts nationwide.”

“I’ll protect Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act; support a public option to lower premiums and expand care; ban medical debt from wrecking people’s credit; invest in mental health care; and defend reproductive healthcare.”

“It’s unacceptable that people who have health insurance coverage still fall into medical debt due to sky-high medical costs, that’s why I believe medical debt should be taken off credit reports.”

“Get medical debt off credit reports. Stop a doctor's bill from wrecking your credit and your shot at housing.”

“Cut health care costs for working families by cracking down on predatory medical debt collectors, pharmaceutical monopolies, and Wall Street firms buying up hospitals for profit.”

“I am also working to ban aggressive medical debt collection, help low-income moms afford diapers and formula, and stop the worst of Trump’s price hikes from taking place.”
