Senator Reverend Warnock Successfully Urges White House to Take Action on Medical Debt
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
"It's unacceptable that thousands of Georgians are unable to pay both their medical bills and cover other essential needs," said Senator Reverend Warnock. "In our state, a little more than 100,000 folks carry over $120 million in medical debt. I'm glad that at my urging, the White House is announcing aggressive new action to lessen the devastating burden of medical debt on Georgians in every corner of our state. I'll continue pushing the White House to do more to lessen this burden and I'll keep working in Congress to close to Medicaid coverage gap, which will keep Georgians from having to take on crippling medical debt in the future."
