Readout of the White House State Convening on Medical Debt | The White House 

Today, the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, National Economic Council, and Domestic Policy Council convened over 80 federal and state officials to discuss the importance of reducing medical debt as part of the President’s Bidenomics agenda to lower costs for American families. One in three adults – nearly 100 million Americans – struggle with unpaid medical bills. Medical debt keeps everyday Americans from securing loans, seeking medical services, and affording the essentials they need to get by. President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that access to health care should be a right, and that no one should need to go into debt to get the health care that they need.
