    You know, you could just not pay it. Hospitals can’t jail you for not paying, nor can they refuse you service.

    The only thing that happens is your credit score goes down. That’s it. (And pretty soon that won’t be a thing anymore.)

    So don’t stress it; ignore medical debt.

          First of all, it’s bad form to link a search instead of just saying what you mean.

          Second of all, based on this search, I see that the Biden administration announced they were performing some actions that would prevent medical debt from impacting credit scores. But I don’t see anything that indicates this can’t just be undone by the next president. Maybe I just don’t understand what’s being attempted well enough, but I’m sure not getting my hopes up.
