Stacey Abrams group donates more than $1M to erase medical debts of people in five states.

CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo of Fair Fight Action said that paying off medical debt is another facet of the group’s advocacy seeking expansion of Medicaid coverage in t“What is so important about this is the tie between Medicaid expansion and just crushing medical debt,” Groh-Wargo said.Fair Fight said letters will be sent to those whose debts have been absolved to notify them.

“I know firsthand how medical costs and a broken healthcare system put families further and further in debt,” Abrams said in a statement. “Across the sunbelt and in the South, this problem is exacerbated in states like Georgia where failed leaders have callously refused to expand Medicaid, even during a pandemic.”

Allison Sesso, executive director of RIP Medical Debt, said such liabilities often drive people into bankruptcy, can deter people from seeking needed medical care, and can lead to wages being garnished or liens filed on property.Sesso said her group is not just pursuing debt abolishment “but thinking about how we can improve the system nationwide,” trying to advocate that hospitals should do more to make charity care available.

Good but probably covered five people's debts.

Critical Race Theory is NOT taught in K12 in Virginia or any other state. It is a complex subject taught in some graduate programs and law schools. But it is a great sound bite for misinformation, misdirection for people seeking votes. They think you cannot find the truth!

Fox News failed to mention that the VA Department of Education does use CRT as Culturally Relevant Teaching (CRT), don't you just love the half truths some tell to mislead the voting public. You can look it up yourself. Critical Race Theory is not taught in K12 in Virginia.

FOX News won't post a story like this...

Mr.Bezos and Mr.Musk...follow this example

I love Stacey,because she's genuine.

What kind of leadership do you deserve? Angry knuckleheads who work tirelessly to expose you to all the ills of extractive empire, or Loving public servants working to make as many lives easier & happier as possible?

Wow what is Stacey Abrams do to make that much money?

She needs to pay for what she did down in Georgia.

Awesome!

She will fall along with Biden

How amazing!!!

Imagine living in a country where medical bills create debt for its citizens. Then imagine it being normalized by the poor.

How incredible and inspiring!

Please do college debt next! 😉

Wtf is medical debt that can't be a real thing

And still lying about how she won GA.

Thats great!

remember master

This. Meanwhile we have rich, white guys flying off to space just cuz they can. SMH

In lieu of justice and democracy or having our humanity respected - we get a little bit of means tested charity. Now, Shuddup peasants and go back to work!

She needs run for Congress or senate or governor

It was the people that work for them lol

I dont expect any comment here. A Black woman helping normal people from the public spotlight is blasphemy to normalized captialism.

I appreciate the sentiment, but - $1 million? That will cover what, half an appendectomy? GoFundMe is not a healthcare system.
