Unpaid medical bills will no longer appear on credit reports, where they can block people from mortgages, car loans or small business loans.

    I’m very very happy this was done. Not so happy that Biden admin waited so long to do it. But hey, at least it’s done.

    Is there a limit on this, I can’t find any information about it. I have about $40k in medical debt I can’t pay that will be hitting my credit report in the next few months. Wondering if this will prevent that or if there is some kind of limit to the amount it will block.

    A tiny step toward universal healthcare perhaps?

This community shares news and articles from a wide range of political perspectives—socialist, liberal, conservative, independent, libertarian, Green Party, Pirate Party, and more.

The goal isn’t to push one side but to give people a fuller picture of what’s going on in the world.

You’ll find everything from mainstream coverage to underground analysis, letting you compare narratives, spot bias, and dig deeper into the facts.

It’s a place for curious thinkers, not echo chambers. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere off the map entirely, the idea is to expose yourself to other viewpoints and sharpen your own thinking.

Civil discussion is encouraged, and the focus stays on good information and mutual respect—not name-calling or tribal politics.
