Show Notes
Akron Mayor Shammas Malik announces a significant debt relief program, erasing nearly $20 million in medical debt for 17,000 residents. The city, in partnership with Undue Medical Debt, purchased the debt for a fraction of its value and will forgive it outright. The initiative targets low-income families, those with medical bills equaling at least 5% of their annual income, and will be automatically handled through partner providers.
