The effect of removing medical debt from credit scores

Season 2025 Episode 25 | 7m 04s

More than 100 million Americans are burdened with medical bills they can’t pay. In the final weeks of the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued new rules banning credit agencies from including medical debt on credit reports, starting in March. KFF Health News senior correspondent Noam Levey joins Ali Rogin to discuss what this means for people carrying medical debt.
