A federal judge in Texas has reversed a Biden administration rule that wiped medical debt from credit reports, affecting nearly 15 million Americans.
The rule, which did not discharge debt but changed how credit scores could be calculated, would have removed $50 million of medical debt from credit reports.
U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan, who was appointed by Donald Trump during his first term, claimed in his decision that the Fair Credit Reporting Act does not allow the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to remove medical debt from reports.
Fuck this judge and this president in every possible way with a dog-piss-rusted fire hydrant.
I’ve already been ruined by medical debt, I’ve started over twice in life, I am now well past middle age and BARELY getting back on my feet and getting my credit repaired. I have family members looking over their shoulders for ICE agents and I may lose what shitty medical coverage we already have because dumbfucks who get their news from AM radio and Facebook don’t get that Medicare and Medicaid have different names in different states and that they’re going to lose coverage just because they’re scared someone with brown skin might get benefits.
I kind of want to see the country burn, ngl.
What happens when a whole population realizes they are rapidly losing anything they might have had to lose?
