This is absolutely brilliant... What an incredible gift!!! Freedom from crushing medical debt will be the best medicine some folks will ever receive...

Thank you, Gov Ned Lamont...

"Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont says his state will purchase $1 billion of residents' medical debt for just $6.5 million.

Then he will cancel it all, abolishing medical debt for 250,000 people.

This is the first time a state has forgiven medical debt at a massive scale."

Yay, CT! It's always irritated me the injustice of medical billing and insurance. If you have insurance, the doctor accepts less than if they bill you directly. In what world does that seem reasonable? (Dental bills are what is pissing me off at the moment.)
