In this episode, host Marc Russell interviews guest Jared from DollarFor.org. They discuss the little-known option of charity care, a provision in the Affordable Care Act that allows nonprofit hospitals to waive or reduce medical bills for eligible individuals.

Jared explains how their organization helps patients navigate the complex process and advocates for them to have their medical debt eliminated.
