$12 Million in Medical Debt Forgiven And Counting

$12 Million in Medical Debt Forgiven And Counting
Thanks to our partnership with Undue Medical Debt, the Office of the General Treasurer has now relieved an average of $1,749.69 in medical debt for nearly 7,000 Rhode Islanders. This initiative continues to provide meaningful financial relief for families across the state, turning a small public investment into significant impact. You can read more about how Rhode Island is buying and forgiving medical debt in this week’s Providence Journal article by Kathy Gregg: Read the story here.
