New Jersey canceling $100 million in medical debt
(The Hill) - New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) announced Wednesday that the state would cancel $100 million in medical debt for nearly 50,000 residents.
“Medical debt can follow someone for decades. We are wiping the slate clean for thousands and making a real impact on their lives,” Murphy posted on X.
New Jersey is working with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt, which said in a release it is working with the state to leverage more than $550,000 in American Rescue Plan federal funds.
