Americans’ unpaid medical bills will remain on their credit reports after a federal judge last week vacated a Biden-era Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) rule that would have removed such debt.

    great, creditors still know medical debt isn’t worth the toilet paper it’s printed on. You can buy hundreds of dollars of medical debt for pennies.

    Yeah, let’s just ruin everyone’s credit with medical debt so we can stop buying bullshit overpriced cars and accruing ludicrous quantities of credit cards. The main downside I see is if this acts as another barrier to home ownership. But then, of course, the banks will begin getting pissy if they can’t loan to anyone.

    I can only see this backfiring on the economy–theres only so much money allocated to people’s pockets, and this is the federal government deciding that the medical industry gets to have a larger share of it.

    Judge could use an unscheduled leg amputation followed by a bath in sewage and HIV and hep C blood, then maybe they find out how easy medical debt grows

    The accelerationist in me (who has gotten louder and louder lately) is saying “Whatever, it was just another band-aid on the broken system.”

    The tactics of class warfare these nazis will take is just… completely unsurprising. They need prison.

      If a Nazi gets sent to prison, even if it’s for life, the next spineless leader will just pardon them in the name of “unity” and “peace”
