I don’t care who it disproportionately helps, this is a major win for society as a whole. Now do student loans next
The point is that it addresses a historic inequality. We should care about addressing those
An odd way to state that African Americans have disproportionately high amounts of medical debt; if anything, it’s an indicator of unequal access to economic opportunities that let people afford expensive medical treatments.
Therefore, rather than shifting the narrative into one of handouts, a better solution would be to make progress on reducing the country’s inflated medical costs—the result of capitalism being applied to the inelastic demand for essential medical services.
Sorry I’m a conservative so if it helps black people it’s the devils work
I wish I could make the /S bigger here
What a f****** terrible way to write a headline. But at least the author is honest about their political views.
I’m not sure I follow. What are their political views?
Edit: you all assumed this was some right wing rag upset about this but it’s literally a self-described Black news site praising it
The implication is that disproportionately helping black people is somehow problematic. The article itself is actually much more sympathetic. Makes me wonder if it wasn’t an editorial decision.

How Federal Ruling To Wipe Medical Debt From Credit Reports Helps Address Historic Inequality
The article from a liberal Black news site is racist against Black people?
Do people read article before commenting? It literally goes into the history of racism that caused this.
Speaking of not reading…
The article itself is actually much more sympathetic.
I literally pointed out that the title is incongruous with the rest of the article. Did you bother reading my whole comment before replying?
Before reading the article I’m guessing they are over-represented in a combination of medical debt and lower credit scores.
Even if I were to take the headline at face value. “The other people get more relief than you do!” Okay, I have had shit tons of medical debt. Times I had to make a payment plan. You telling me there is a group defined by race that have it even worse. Well I am shocked to learn that /s.
This doesn’t wipe the debt so no one is in the clear. It just doesn’t hurt your credit so you can actually still apply for the better place or a new home. Chill the f out you asshats.
Time to celebrate a first.
Conservatives find a way to roll it back, even if it means hurting white people too, in 3…2…1…
